In the old (Cursor 2) layout the chat sidebar would have a progress/wheel indicator showing how much of the current context window was used up. This was handy to keep the agent outside the “dumb” zone.
In Cursor 3 this indicator seems to have disappeared and I can’t seem to find any setting to bring it back. Was this intentional? If not, this is a bug that should be fixed.
Steps to Reproduce
Open Cursor 3.
Click on any active agent conversation.
Observe the absence of the indicator showing the context window fill.
Hey, the context window indicator is still there in the Glass layout, it just moved. Hover your mouse over the chat window title, and you’ll see a tooltip showing the model, folder path, and context usage percentage.
@cvzakharchenko Clear request, the team knows users want a context indicator without extra steps. For now it’s only available via hover or click on the chat title.
@mwolfeio Can you confirm which Cursor version you’re on? Help > About. The tooltip on hover over the chat title should still work, or did it disappear completely? If it did, please share a screenshot.
Thank you.
