Visual bug with terminal tab

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I have the integrated terminal tab on the right panel along chats. Now having both “chats” and “terminal” tabs on the right panel with the terminal tab selected, I’m losing all the terminal options (switch, kill terminals etc…). It keeps the “chats” options (new chat, chat history etc…) instead

In order to retrieve terminal options I have to change my usual workflow having the terminal tab elsewhere… See the difference below:

Among all the issues I reported, not a single one has been fixed, so my hopes aren’t that high for this one either.

Steps to Reproduce

Move the terminal tab to the right side panel along chats, and select it.

Expected Behavior

when selecting the terminal tab, terminal options shows up in-place of the chat options (which remains)

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.

This is a known issue, a regression in sidebar action routing. There’s a similar bug here: The secondary sidebar is not showing up in the new terminal

The team is aware. When the terminal is in the right panel next to chats, the UI shows the wrong actions. They’re looking into it, but there’s no fix yet.

Workaround is to keep the terminal in the default position at the bottom, like you’re already doing.
