The desktop client's sidebar minimum drag width was increased from 160px to 200px to prevent the 'New Chat' button text from being hidden when users resize the sidebar too narrow.
A UI fix that raises the minimum resizable sidebar width so the 'New Chat' button text is always visible, removing a usability friction where users could accidentally hide a core interface element.
DeepSeek-Reasonix desktop users who resize the sidebar will no longer lose the 'New Chat' button text, making it easier to start new conversations at any window width. This eliminates confusion for users who might have thought the button was removed. Keep an eye on whether other UI elements in narrow layouts suffer from similar hidden-text issues driven by breakpoint mismatches.
