Issue

Thank you for feedback. When you report a problem, please pay attention to following points.

Does it happen on web browsers? (especially Chrome)

Mattermost Desktop is based on Electron, which integrates the Chrome engine within a standalone application. If the problem you encounter can be reproduced on web browsers, it may be an issue with Mattermost server (or Chrome).

Try "Clear Cache and Reload"

It's available as Ctrl(Command) + Shift + R. Some layout problems are caused by browser cache. Especially, this kind of issue might happen when you have updated Mattermost server.
