What's Wrong?

After the latest app update, when the sidebar is open, the main chat content area is partially hidden — not just resized to fit the remaining space, but actually clipped. Text and images that should be visible are cut off behind the sidebar.

When the sidebar is closed, everything displays correctly. This issue did not occur before the update.

Expected behavior: The chat content area should resize/reflow to fit the available space when the sidebar is open, without hiding any content.

Actual behavior: Part of the content is hidden/clipped behind the sidebar overlay, as if the content area doesn't account for the sidebar width.

Regression: Started after the most recent app update. Was working correctly in the previous version.

Environment:

App: Claude Desktop OS: macOS (Darwin 24.6.0) Screen: (add your screen resolution here) App version: (check in Claude menu → About)

What Should Happen?

The screen is supposed to be fully revealed

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by adjusting the CSS styling to ensure the main chat content area resizes correctly when the sidebar is open.

Guidance

  • Verify that the CSS styles for the main chat content area and the sidebar are correctly set to allow for dynamic resizing.
  • Check the CSS overflow properties to ensure that content is not being clipped when the sidebar is open.
  • Inspect the HTML structure to confirm that the main chat content area and sidebar are correctly nested and positioned.
  • Consider adding a CSS media query to handle different screen sizes and ensure the layout adapts correctly.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more information on the existing CSS and HTML structure. However, a general example of how to handle resizing with CSS might look like:

.main-content {
  width: calc(100% - 200px); /* assuming 200px is the width of the sidebar */
  overflow: auto;
}

Notes

The provided information suggests a CSS styling issue, but without access to the actual code, it's difficult to provide a precise solution. The issue may also be related to the Anthropic API or the Claude Code version, but this is less likely given the description.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adjusting the CSS styling to ensure correct resizing of the main chat content area. This is the most likely solution given the information provided, and it can be implemented without waiting for a potential update to the Claude Code version.
