What's Wrong?

Claude Cowork on Claude Desktop v1.1.9493 (b58a0b) 2026-03-29T03:33:07.000Z
Claude Teams Plan on Windows.

The folder drop down selector shows non readable information for long paths.
The folders are shown from the beginning and truncated at the end, so all folders with same initial directory all look the same on the dropdown.

See screenshot:

What Should Happen?

When the full path does not fit in the selector width, the path string should show the final part, perhaps the last one or two folders.
The ui could truncate the beginning of the string, or maybe the middle of the string would be even more readable
