[Windows] Navigation buttons overlap native window controls in RTL (Arabic) layout
Description
When the Windows display/system language is set to Arabic (RTL), the app UI switches to a right-to-left layout. The top navigation buttons (menu, panel toggle, search, back/forward) move to the top-right corner — which is exactly where the native Windows window controls (minimize / maximize / close) live. The nav buttons overlap and stack under the OS window controls, becoming partially unclickable and visually messy.
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26100)
- System / display language: Arabic (RTL)
- App version:
1.22209.3.0
Steps to reproduce
- Set the Windows display language to Arabic (RTL).
- Open the Claude desktop / Claude Code app.
- Observe the top-right area — the navigation buttons overlap the native minimize / maximize / close controls.
Expected
In RTL mode the app's custom title-bar region should reserve space (inset) for the native window controls, so the navigation buttons are offset and don't collide with them.
Actual
Navigation buttons render underneath / on top of the OS window controls in RTL layout.
Workarounds tried (none fixed it)
- Resize / maximize / restore the window
- Update the app
- Change Windows display scaling (100% / 125% / 150%)
- Full app restart
Suspected cause
RTL layout does not account for the native window-controls inset on Windows, so the mirrored toolbar collides with the min/max/close buttons.
