What's Wrong?

After the latest GUI update, on Windows systems using RTL languages such as Hebrew or Arabic, the titlebar buttons (Minimize / Maximize / Close) are positioned incorrectly and overlap Claude’s top menu area.

As a result, part of the menu is hidden behind the window controls, and the layout appears broken.

What Should Happen?

The titlebar buttons should be positioned correctly and should not overlap or hide Claude’s top menu. The top menu should remain fully visible and accessible on RTL Windows systems.

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by adjusting the GUI layout to account for RTL languages, ensuring the titlebar buttons do not overlap with the top menu area.

Guidance

  • Verify that the GUI update introduced changes to the layout or positioning of the titlebar buttons, which may not be compatible with RTL languages.
  • Check the CSS or layout code for any hardcoded positions or margins that may be causing the overlap, and consider using relative positioning or flexbox to improve layout flexibility.
  • Test the application with different RTL languages to ensure the issue is not specific to a particular language or font.
  • Consider adding a RTL-specific stylesheet or layout adjustment to handle the unique requirements of these languages.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more information on the GUI framework or layout code used in Claude Code.

Notes

The fix may require collaboration with the GUI development team to ensure that the layout is properly adjusted for RTL languages. Additionally, testing with different RTL languages and fonts will be necessary to ensure the solution is comprehensive.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adjusting the GUI layout to accommodate RTL languages, as the root cause appears to be related to the recent GUI update.
