What's Wrong?

In the Claude Code tab of the Claude Desktop app on Windows (with the window maximized / full screen), the main right-side vertical scrollbar's clickable hitbox does not extend to the right edge of the window. Slamming the cursor to the far right (Fitts's law target) lands outside the scrollbar, so click-to-scroll fails.

This does not happen in the Claude Chat tab of the same app — the Chat tab's scrollbar is flush to the window edge and behaves correctly. The two tabs use different scrollbar/container rules.

What Should Happen?

The main vertical scrollbar's hitbox should extend all the way to the right edge of the window (matching the Claude Chat tab), so the cursor can be thrown to the screen edge for reliable click-to-scroll.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the Claude Desktop app on Windows 11 and maximize the window (full screen).
  2. Switch to the Claude Code tab.
  3. Open a conversation long enough to require scrolling.
  4. Move the mouse cursor to the far right edge of the window, level with the scrollbar track.
  5. Click — the click misses the scrollbar (cursor is outside the hitbox).
  6. Repeat in the Claude Chat tab — the same gesture works correctly.
