What's Wrong?

Title: Chat input composer overlaps the last message, requires manual scroll to see it

Body:
After sending a message and receiving a response, the bottom of the conversation is cut off by the input composer area, and I have to manually scroll down slightly to see the full response. This happens consistently, across multiple sessions/projects, and is not resolved by restarting the app, checking for updates, maximizing/resizing the window, or changing the OS display scaling.

OS: Windows 11
App: Claude Code desktop app
This has been a recurring issue over several days

追加情報:メッセージ送信時、Enterキーで送った時と、改行ボタン経由で送った時とで症状の出方が違うことがある。短いメッセージでも発生するし、発生タイミングはランダムに見える。長さとは関係なさそう。

Thanks for the report. This is about the Claude Code desktop app on Windows, so I couldn't reproduce it here — I only have the released terminal CLI (2.1.233) on macOS, and this symptom (the input box covering the end of the latest reply until you scroll) is specific to the desktop app's chat view.

We agree the full reply should be visible without a manual scroll once it finishes; we're routing this to the desktop app team. To help them reproduce, could you add:

  • Desktop app version (Settings → About) and Windows build
  • Window size / whether the app is maximized, and your display zoom setting
  • Whether it happens right after the reply finishes streaming, or only after you type in the input box
  • A short screen recording or screenshot showing the overlap

Note: the earlier reports you linked (#58484, #60345) were about the last user message staying pinned while scrolling on macOS, which is a different symptom, so keeping this one open separately.

We weren't able to reproduce this. Could you provide steps to trigger the issue — what you ran, what happened, and what you expected? This issue will be closed automatically if there's no activity within 7 days.

Hello,

Thank you for looking into this.

Since then, the scrolling issue hasn't occurred again. It's unclear what resolved it, but the chat window has been working normally since. If it happens again, I'll report back.

For reference, here is the environment info:

Desktop app version: v1.30096.5.0
Windows build: 26200.9168
Display scaling: 150%

Thank you again for your help.

Best regards
