Description
On Intel Mac, when the desktop app window height exceeds a certain threshold, the text rendering breaks — text gets clipped/cut off on the left side, making messages partially unreadable.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Claude Code desktop app on Intel Mac
- Resize the window height beyond a certain point (roughly the size shown in screenshots)
- Observe that message text becomes clipped on the left edge
Expected behavior
Text should render fully regardless of window size.
Actual behavior
Text is cut off on the left side. The beginning of lines is not visible. See screenshots below.
Screenshots
Bug visible — text clipped on left side
Smaller window — shows the threshold
Environment
- Platform: macOS (Intel Mac)
- App: Claude Code Desktop
- Model: Opus 4.6
