What's Wrong?

After the latest GUI update, on Windows systems using RTL languages such as Hebrew or Arabic, the titlebar buttons (Minimize / Maximize / Close) are positioned incorrectly and overlap Claude’s top menu area.

As a result, part of the menu is hidden behind the window controls, and the layout appears broken.

What Should Happen?

The titlebar buttons should be positioned correctly and should not overlap or hide Claude’s top menu. The top menu should remain fully visible and accessible on RTL Windows systems.
