claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Drag & Drop: Drop indicator desynchronizes from cursor position when scrolling during drag

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?

When dragging a session item in the sidebar list to reorder it, scrolling with the mouse wheel during the drag causes the drop zone indicator to become desynchronized from the actual cursor position.

The drop indicator stays at its last calculated position before the scroll event, while the cursor and visible list content move independently. See screenshot: green arrow shows cursor position, red arrow shows where the drop zone appears — displaced from the cursor.

What Should Happen?

The drop zone indicator should follow the cursor position continuously, even after the list is scrolled during the drag. The indicator should update dynamically relative to the current viewport position.

Error Messages/Logs

No error messages. Visual-only desync between cursor and drop indicator.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Claude Desktop App with a project that has enough sessions to require scrolling
2. Start dragging a session item (hold left mouse button)
3. While holding, scroll the list using the mouse wheel (up or down)
4. Observe: drop zone indicator (red arrow) stays at pre-scroll position while cursor (green arrow) has moved to a different list position

Additional Information

This bug affects the Claude Desktop App (not the CLI/terminal). The session list sidebar is a GUI element within the desktop application. Screenshot attached showing cursor position vs. drop indicator position mismatch.

Additionally, the drop indicator itself appears visually imprecise even without scrolling: no clear insertion line is shown between items to indicate the exact drop position. The indicator does not cleanly snap between two list entries, making it ambiguous whether the item will land above or below the target.
