What's Wrong?

I downloaded the Cloud app yesterday and I saw a UI glitch in it where next to the sidebar, a rectangular overlay shows up and hides half the app. When I started to experience this problem, I reached out to the help AI assistant, and I tried a bunch of different things, including resizing the window, clearing cache, and a couple of other things it showed me, but it didn't work. I made sure that I have the latest macOS and the latest Cloud app. I even deleted the app and re-downloaded it again today, but I'm still having the same issue. The screenshot is attached and the overlay only shows up when the sidebar is on and open, and it goes away when the sidebar has been toggled off.​ It happens across chat, cowork and code. This is the first time I am using the app so it's not a "new" issue. Just always happened since I tried yesterday.

What Should Happen?

I should have to deal with the strange redering overlay which takes over half the screen of the app

TL;DR

The issue can be potentially resolved by investigating and adjusting the CSS or layout settings related to the sidebar and overlay in the Cloud app.

Guidance

  • Investigate the CSS styles applied to the sidebar and overlay elements to identify any potential conflicts or incorrect positioning.
  • Check the JavaScript code that toggles the sidebar to ensure it correctly updates the overlay's visibility and positioning.
  • Verify if the issue persists across different macOS versions or if it's specific to the latest version.
  • Consider reaching out to the development team or filing a more detailed bug report with steps to reproduce and expected behavior.

Example

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

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the app's UI rendering, and without access to the code or more detailed error messages, it's challenging to provide a precise fix. The provided screenshot and steps to reproduce can help the development team investigate the issue further.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user can try to toggle the sidebar on and off to temporarily remove the overlay, but a more permanent solution would require investigation and potential code changes by the development team.
