Anytime I switch to a different chat then return back to the chat I was originally in. Exa: "I click chat 1 went to chat 2 then back to chat 1 this happens."
What Should Happen?
It should show the Claude chat as I am switching between chats without having to manually refresh the desktop app or webpage.
Error Messages/Logs
No errors I found from this. But I have tried clearing cache and reinstalling and reset app data nothing seemed to worked, even tried dns changes and /flushdns aswell from terminal.
Steps to Reproduce
The thing that lead to this issue in the first place was the moment I had exited the suggestion from the desktop app version for me to download claude code in the chat once I did that the chats seemed to be bugged as shown above, before it was working great both on the browser and the desktop version.

Additional Information
This only affects the one desktop device the moment I removed that banner that wanted me to install claude code app, I merely had claude desktop standalone before this point ever. Weirdly enough my phone app and website works still fine as intended no issues switch between chats. But the desktop is still an issue.
