[BUG] Content area clipped/hidden when sidebar is open

What's Wrong?
After the latest app update, when the sidebar is open, the main chat content area is partially hidden — not just resized to fit the remaining space, but actually clipped. Text and images that should be visible are cut off behind the sidebar.
When the sidebar is closed, everything displays correctly. This issue did not occur before the update.
Expected behavior: The chat content area should resize/reflow to fit the available space when the sidebar is open, without hiding any content.
Actual behavior: Part of the content is hidden/clipped behind the sidebar overlay, as if the content area doesn't account for the sidebar width.
Regression: Started after the most recent app update. Was working correctly in the previous version.
Environment:
App: Claude Desktop
OS: macOS (Darwin 24.6.0)
Screen: (add your screen resolution here)
App version: (check in Claude menu → About)

whats the fix for this
if your mac use intel then it's a GPU issue.
You need to start Claude app and disable the GPU compositing:
Close the Claude app.
Open your terminal and enter:
/Applications/Claude.app/Contents/MacOS/Claude --disable-gpu-compositing
Now the Claude app opens with GPU compositing disabled.
Then you can create an Automator so that each time you open the app is does it automatically.
You can ask Claude on how to do it.
I had the same issue and it fixed it after doing these steps.
That's crazy
@claude team needs to fix it

You need to create an Automator (should be in your application folder):
/Applications/Claude.app/Contents/MacOS/Claude --disable-gpu-compositing
Optional — give it the Claude icon:
That's it — now you just click the Dock icon and it launches with the fix every time.
