What version of the IDE extension are you using?

Version 26.506.31421; Cursor: Version: 3.3.30 VSCode Version: 1.105.1

What subscription do you have?

Pro

Which IDE are you using?

Cursor

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.17.0-23-generic x86_64 x86_64 (Kubuntu 24.04)

What issue are you seeing?

If you open Codex, it only opens in the left (primary) side bar. If you try to drag and drop it into the secondary side bar (where the regular Cursor's agents are all placed) - nothing happens.

This is a major inconvenience, as having codex in the left side bar hides the Explorer panel

Codex agent can be opened as an editor, which is not convenient either - sometimes files are opened in the same editor group, you can't drag and drop into such editor, etc.

Please fix it, its affects usability badly.

Thank you, Nickolay
