What's Wrong?

Claude Code Desktop App v2.1.111 on Windows 11

Bug: When creating a new conversation (File → New conversation or "+ New session"), the app automatically uses the last-used project folder as working directory instead of showing a folder picker.

Expected: New conversation should let me select the project folder.

Actual: App auto-loads the last folder (today "caz", after restart "roulette"). No UI option to change the working directory.

Checked: File menu, Settings, top-bar dropdown, right-click context menus – no folder selection option anywhere.

What Should Happen?

new session i need new folder because if not have problem with mixing files. why is this now?
