What's Wrong?

App version: Claude for Windows 1.7196.0 OS: Windows 10/11

What happened: In the main window, the secret chat ghost icon and the close button (×) overlap in the upper right corner. Clicking the ghost icon triggers the close button instead, closing the app.

Expected behavior: The ghost icon should open the Secret chat window without closing the app.

Workaround: Ctrl+Shift+I opens Secret chat correctly.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Claude for Windows
  2. Try to click the ghost icon in the upper right corner
  3. App closes instead of opening Secret chat

What Should Happen?

The ghost icon should open the Secret chat window without closing the app.
