outline component errors with "attempt to index field 'cursor' (a nil value)" when switching buffers about nvim-ide

[ldelossa]

hey @technicalpickles are you able to try out the following branch?
https://github.com/ldelossa/nvim-ide/tree/no-cursor-restore

turn the outline component back on and see if you still get the error.

As a quick work around until I debug, you can add this block into your user config:

    -- panels defined by groups of components, user is free to redefine the defaults
    -- and/or add additional.
    panel_groups = {
        explorer = { bufferlist.Name, explorer.Name, bookmarks.Name, callhierarchy.Name, terminalbrowser.Name }
    },

Removes the Outline component from the explorer panel group.

Line is:

nvim-ide/lua/ide/components/outline/component.lua

Line 161 in 5ba9f23

self.state["cursor"].restore()

I see one place that checks the cursor to be present: https://github.com/ldelossa/nvim-ide/blob/5ba9f236b397c3362f7c4d9fb5a9395f09a253b2/lua/ide/components/terminal/terminalbrowser/component.lua#LL82-L84

Maybe need a helper to that anywhere can use?

@ldelossa the workaround worked, thanks!

I thought I had some code which ensured there was always a cursor (even a mock one at 0,0) for a component's state. let me check this out.

[ldelossa]

Its odd to me this only happens with the Outline component, because the same code which shoots out an error is all over the place in the code base.

@ldelossa that looks like it fixes it, thanks!
