Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

chat sidebar width not consistent on
zoom in → zoom out → zoom in

Steps to Reproduce

4K monitor, macos (iam on 720p zoom setting in mac os).

Default zoom:
Have a file open to edit, chat window open on right side, make the chatwindow as big as possible so its left border extends beyond 50% width.

Now (probably also happens when zoom is not so drastic):
zoom in with keyboard shortcut 10 times.
zoom out 10 times.
now chat sidebar is really small on the righ tside

Hey, thanks for the report. I think this happens because when you scale up the window, at some point the sidebar encounters a space limitation and narrows. The same thing happens with the left sidebar, so I don’t think it’s a bug, it’s intentional. The same behavior occurs in VS Code as well.
