Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

The send/submit button (small square icon) next to the input field has disappeared in the Claude Code Desktop app on Windows. The only way to send a message is by pressing Enter. The microphone icon is visible, but no send button appears when text is typed in the input field.

See attached screenshot showing the missing button area (red box highlights where the send button should be, but only the microphone/stop icon is visible).

What Should Happen?

A send button should appear next to the microphone icon when text is entered in the input field, allowing users to submit messages by clicking it.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code Desktop app on Windows 11
  2. Type any text in the input field
  3. Notice that no send button appears — only the microphone icon is visible
  4. Messages can only be sent via the Enter key

Additional Information

  • Terminal: Claude Code Desktop App (Windows native app, not CLI in a terminal)
  • OS: Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200
  • Model: Opus 4.6 (1M context)
  • Plan: Max plan

The stop button (circle with square inside) appears correctly when Claude is processing a message, but the send button does not appear when text is typed in the input field.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The send button's disappearance in the Claude Code Desktop app on Windows may be resolved by investigating and adjusting the app's UI rendering logic, specifically for the input field and send button.

Guidance

  • Verify that the send button's visibility is correctly toggled based on the input field's state, ensuring that the button appears when text is entered.
  • Check the app's UI layout and styling to ensure that the send button is not being overlapped or hidden by other elements.
  • Investigate potential platform-specific issues, such as Windows 11 compatibility problems, that might be affecting the send button's visibility.
  • Review the app's code for any recent changes that might have introduced this issue, and consider reverting those changes if necessary.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more information about the app's codebase.

Notes

The issue may be related to a specific combination of factors, including the Windows 11 operating system, the Claude Code Desktop app, and the Opus 4.6 model. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as using the Enter key to send messages, until the underlying issue can be resolved, as the cause of the problem is not yet clear.
