Description

On the Windows desktop app, the Task window continues to show completed Bash commands as "Running" even after they have finished execution and returned results.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code Desktop App on Windows
  2. Run several Bash commands (e.g., cat a file, ls a directory)
  3. Commands complete successfully and results are displayed in the conversation
  4. Open the Task window

Expected Behavior

Completed commands should show as "Completed" or be removed from the task list.

Actual Behavior

All completed Bash commands remain displayed as "Running" (実行中) indefinitely. The task window shows entries like:

  • "Check local settings file" — Running
  • "Check global Claude Code settings" — Running
  • "Check hinshitsu-kanri dev scripts" — Running

...even though all commands completed and returned results to the conversation.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200
  • App: Claude Code Desktop App (latest)
  • Shell: bash

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by updating the task status handling in the Claude Code Desktop App to correctly reflect the completion of Bash commands.

Guidance

  • Verify that the Bash commands are indeed completing successfully and returning results as expected, to rule out any issues with command execution.
  • Investigate the task status update mechanism in the Claude Code Desktop App to ensure it is correctly handling the completion of Bash commands and updating the task list accordingly.
  • Check if there are any known issues or bugs in the latest version of the Claude Code Desktop App that may be causing this behavior.
  • Consider testing the app on a different Windows version or environment to see if the issue is specific to Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient technical details to create a relevant example.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Windows desktop app or the Bash shell, and further investigation is needed to determine the root cause. Additionally, the issue may be related to a bug or limitation in the app's task management system.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the task status update mechanism in the Claude Code Desktop App to correctly handle the completion of Bash commands, or wait for an update that addresses this issue. This is recommended because the issue appears to be related to the app's handling of task status updates, and a workaround or update may be necessary to resolve the issue.
