What's Wrong?
What's Wrong?
On macOS, the grabbable/draggable area for moving the Claude Desktop window is oddly positioned and difficult to target. It does not behave like a standard macOS title bar, making it frustrating to reposition the window when arranging it on screen.
Expected Behavior
The window should be draggable from a clearly defined title bar area consistent with standard macOS app behavior.
Actual Behavior
The drag target area is awkwardly placed, requiring excessive precision to grab the window. Typical attempts to move the window often fail or miss the grab zone entirely.
Steps to Reproduce
Open Claude Desktop on macOS
Attempt to click and drag the window to reposition it
Observe difficulty locating a reliable grab area
Platform
App: Claude Desktop 1.3109.0 (35cbf6)
OS: macOS Tahoe 26.4.1
Hardware: MacBook Air 13-inch, M4, 2025
Related Issues

What Should Happen?
The window should be draggable from a standard macOS-style title bar region spanning the full top of the window, consistent with native Mac app behavior and macOS Human Interface Guidelines.
