What's Wrong?

When opening a project, part of the project view is not rendered correctly. The screen appears completely dark from top to bottom.

The issue persists after restarting the application and resizing the window does not fix it.

However, closing the sidebar immediately restores visibility.

What Should Happen?

The project view should render normally without any dark or blank overlay when opening a project.

Error Messages/Logs

No error message is shown in the UI.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code
  2. Go to the project area
  3. Open any project
  4. Observe the project view

Result: The screen appears completely dark or covered by a blank overlay.

Workaround: Closing the sidebar restores visibility.

Additional Information

Possible cause: The issue seems related to sidebar state or layout rendering (overlay / z-index issue).

Frequency: Occurs every time when opening a project.

I tried to attach screenshots in the issue form, but the upload appears to get stuck and only shows an "Uploading..." placeholder.

I can provide screenshots if needed.

Screenshot 1 shows the project view covered by a dark overlay while the sidebar is open. Screenshot 2 shows the view rendering normally after closing the sidebar.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be fixed by adjusting the z-index or overlay rendering of the sidebar in the project view.

Guidance

  • Investigate the CSS or layout code responsible for rendering the project view and sidebar to identify any potential z-index or overlay issues.
  • Verify that the issue persists when the sidebar is closed and reopened to confirm the suspected cause.
  • Check the browser's developer tools or inspector to examine the HTML and CSS elements of the project view and sidebar for any overlapping or hidden elements.
  • Consider adding a temporary fix, such as a CSS override or a JavaScript hook, to adjust the z-index or visibility of the project view when the sidebar is open.

Example

No code example is provided due to the lack of specific code details in the issue.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Anthropic API or macOS platform, and further investigation is needed to determine the root cause. The provided screenshots could be helpful in diagnosing the issue, but their upload is currently stuck.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as adjusting the CSS or layout code, to mitigate the issue until a permanent fix can be implemented. This is recommended because the issue is reproducible and a temporary fix can help improve the user experience while the root cause is being investigated.
