This is fucking stupid. Give your designers better things to do than play with the interface and fuck up people's workflows. Things like this make me want to use ChatGPT.
What the latest desktop update changed, with no setting to get the old behavior back:
- The Code-tab sidebar now lists sessions in reverse order.
- The status dots next to sessions no longer track session status correctly.
- The left sidebar won't close.
- The right-hand panel layout changed, and settings that used to be there are gone.
None of this was broken and none of it needed changing. Put it back, or at least give users a setting to keep the layout they already had.
Environment: Claude desktop app 2.37337.1 (Code tab), updated 2026-10-14, Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26300.
