What's Wrong?

When the Claude desktop app is quit while its window is in fullscreen mode, relaunching the app restores the fullscreen state but renders the window completely blank. Exiting fullscreen after relaunch immediately fixes the rendering and the app works normally.

What Should Happen?

The app should render its content normally when relaunching into fullscreen, the same way it does when relaunching in a non-fullscreen window.

Error Messages/Logs

There are none.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the Claude desktop app
  2. Put the window into fullscreen mode (green button or Control+Command+F)
  3. Quit the app (not just close the window — full quit)
  4. Relaunch the app
  5. App reopens in fullscreen but the window content is completely blank
