What Should Happen?

What's Wrong? In the Claude Desktop app, switching between Chat / Cowork / Code tabs via the hamburger menu (top-left) is broken. When I open the menu and try to select a different mode, the menu closes before I can make a selection.

Additionally, the Enter key behavior changed unexpectedly — it now inserts a newline instead of sending the message.

Expected Behavior

  • Clicking the hamburger menu should keep it open long enough to select a tab (Chat / Cowork / Code)
  • Enter key should send the message (Shift+Enter for newline)

Actual Behavior

  • The menu closes immediately before a tab can be selected
  • Enter key inserts a newline instead of sending

Workaround Found

  • Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+1 / Ctrl+2 / Ctrl+3) work as a workaround for tab switching

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Desktop app
  2. Navigate to Cowork tab
  3. Click the hamburger menu (top-left)
  4. Attempt to select "Chat" or "Code"
  5. Observe that the menu closes before selection is possible

Environment

  • App version: unknown
  • OS: Windows
  • Reinstalled latest version — issue persists
