The left part of the conversation part always disappears on Claude Desktop. No matter it is Chat, CoWork, or Code. I'm using Mac. I've tried the following:
- maximize the window
- hide the left panel
- made sure everything is up-to-date including re-running the "check for update"
- force quit and restart
- clear cache and reset Apps Data
- restart my computer
- reinstall claude Desktop
Sometimes it will start with normal, for example, after reinstall. But immediately after the first or second input, it goes back into this status. There is no error in Console.app. I've already tried the AI assistant and exhausted its suggestions, and it tell me to file a bug report.
What Should Happen?
Full panel and input box should be shown, no matter the left panel is hidden or not.
