GitHub issue #78857 in anthropics/claude-code, opened 2026-07-18 by ankitdotgg, records a report that after updating to Claude Code Desktop 1.22209.0, the sidebar filter menu in the Code tab no longer offers a project filter, leaving no way to limit the sidebar to a chosen set of projects, while the official docs still describe filtering by project.
Verbatim Excerpts from Cited Records
“The sidebar filter menu in the Code tab previously allowed filtering sessions by **project** (alongside status and environment).”

Counter-record: Issue remains open as of 2026-10-28 with 23 comments. Surveyed comments confirm persistence into October 2026 (Desktop 2.37337.1 sections layout, Windows and macOS), with reports widening scope to the Home sidebar and to Group by losing project grouping; one commenter offers a Raycast extension workaround for macOS, not a fix. No maintainer resolution or author retraction appears in the surveyed thread; the claim documents the original report, not any later fixed state.
Falsification probe: If issue #78857 is deleted without archive, if the author edits the opening body so the quoted sentences no longer match verbatim, or if the author or maintainers post a definitive retraction showing the described behavior was mischaracterized, this claim drops to Withdrawn.
