Session disappeared from sidebar + sidebar language switched from Japanese to English (Desktop app)
Summary
A session in the desktop app's left sidebar disappeared, and around the
same time the sidebar UI language switched from Japanese to English
without me changing any setting.
Environment
- Client: Claude Code Desktop app
- OS: Windows 11 Home (10.0.26200)
What happened
- I had an active session (working on a Google Apps Script app that
calls the Gemini API) with a title referencing "AI大喜利" (AI Ogiri).
- At some point I noticed the session was no longer listed in the left
sidebar (checked both active and archived lists via session
management tools — no trace found).
- Around the same time, the sidebar language changed from Japanese to
English, which I had not changed manually.
- Evidence the session was real: a
Code.gsfile it had generated was
still present in %TEMP%, so the work existed but the session
history/listing is gone.
Expected behavior
- Sessions should persist in the sidebar (or archive) until explicitly
deleted by the user.
- UI language should not change without explicit user action.
Suspicion
Both symptoms occurring together suggests a local
settings/storage reset (sidebar language and session list are likely
stored in the same local state), rather than two unrelated bugs.
Additional context
Not reliably reproducible; reporting in case others hit the same
local-storage reset issue.
