What's Wrong?
After updating to Claude Desktop v1.6259.1 on Windows, the navigation buttons in the top header bar (sidebar toggle, search, back/forward arrows) overlap each other and are difficult to click.
Environment:
- Claude Desktop version: 1.6259.1.0 (Windows Store / MSIX)
- - Windows display scale: 100% (1920x1200, DELL U2412M)
- - - OS: Windows 11
Steps to reproduce:
- Install or update to Claude Desktop v1.6259.1
- 2. Use Windows display scale set to 100%
- 3. Open Claude Desktop — the header navigation buttons overlap
Workaround:
Pressing Ctrl+= inside Claude (zoom in) separates the buttons visually.
What Should Happen?
The header navigation buttons (sidebar toggle, search, back/forward) should be properly spaced and not overlap each other, as was the case in previous versions.
