extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by configuring the Claude Code desktop app to use an external browser for preview instead of its built-in one.

Guidance

  • Investigate the app's settings or preferences to see if there's an option to choose an external browser for preview.
  • Check the app's documentation or support resources to determine if this feature is supported and how to enable it.
  • If the feature is not available, consider submitting a feature request to the app's developers.

Notes

The issue lacks technical details about the app's internal workings, so a definitive solution cannot be provided.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use a different development tool or IDE that supports using an external browser for preview, as the current app may not support this feature.
