Mac app: conversation text hidden behind input bar after crash recovery
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Mar 5, 2026 by razielpanic Closed Apr 3, 2026
Description
After a session crash and the full-window "back to ***" recovery modal, the conversation view doesn't scroll far enough to show the last ~3 lines of the assistant's most recent response. The input bar and branch/PR toolbar overlap the bottom of the conversation.
Steps to reproduce
- Have a conversation in the Claude Code Mac app
- Experience a session crash (in my case, triggered by large AppleScript/Mail output)
- Click through the crash recovery modal
- Try to scroll to the bottom of the conversation
Expected behavior
Full conversation text visible above the input area.
Actual behavior
The last ~3 lines of the assistant's response are hidden behind the input bar + branch toolbar. Cannot scroll further down.
Impact
This causes the user to misread the conversation flow — responses appear to answer the wrong questions because the user can't see the bottom of each message. Particularly bad in back-and-forth workflows.
Environment
- Claude Code Mac app (desktop)
- macOS Sequoia
- Opus 4.6
