What's Wrong?

In the Claude Desktop chat window, clicking the "+" button and selecting "Add to Project" opens a dropdown list of projects. This list is arbitrarily capped at ~8 projects, even though the dropdown has a scrollbar.

The UX contradiction

• The dropdown shows approximately 6.5 projects visible with a scrollbar — implying there is more content to scroll through
• However, the list is hard-capped at ~8 items total
• If you have more than 8 projects, the remaining projects simply do not appear in the dropdown
• The only workaround is to navigate away from the current conversation to the Projects page and add the conversation from there

Why this is a bug

The presence of a scrollbar creates the expectation that all content is accessible by scrolling. A scrollbar + a hidden cap is contradictory UX:

• If the design intent was to limit the list → remove the scrollbar and show all 8 items flat (still not ideal, but at least internally consistent)
• If the design allows scrolling → show all projects (correct behavior)
• At minimum → add a "View all projects" link at the bottom of the dropdown as an escape hatch

What Should Happen

The "Add to Project" dropdown should list all of the user's projects, scrollable. Alternatively, if there is a rendering/performance reason for capping, include a "View all projects..." option at the bottom that navigates to the full project list.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create more than 8 projects in Claude Desktop / claude.ai
2. Open any conversation
3. Click the "+" button at the bottom of the chat input
4. Select "Add to Project"
5. Observe that only ~8 projects appear in the dropdown
6. Projects beyond position ~8 are inaccessible from this UI

Additional Information

This is a Claude Desktop / claude.ai UI issue, not a Claude Code issue. Filing here as there is no dedicated repo for claude.ai frontend bugs, and Anthropic engineers monitor this repo. Happy to move this if a more appropriate channel exists.
