Hi Anthropic team, above is the mail I sent regarding the issues, and Fin bot recommended to post feedback in Claude Code and to post an issue in Github Issues, and so here I am. Below is the same content and the proof document.

Bug Description
UI Bugs in Claude Desktop App (Windows)
Issue 1 — Incognito Chat button overlap:
The incognito chat button is overlapped by the window close button in the Windows Desktop app, making it inaccessible. It should be positioned one or two buttons' height below the top bar. Additionally, there is no keyboard shortcut for incognito mode. A shortcut similar to Chrome's Ctrl+Shift+N for incognito would be a helpful addition.
Issue 2 — Wrong keyboard shortcut hint:
The "New Chat" shortcut is displayed as "Cmd+N" even on Windows. It should show "Ctrl+N" on Windows. This appears to be a Mac-first implementation issue — Claude Desktop is an Electron app, so platform-specific shortcut labels should adapt based on the OS.
OS: Windows
App: Claude Desktop
Plan: Pro
