In the Linux desktop app (new layout), several menu items in the app menu are greyed out / disabled #40898
Closed as not planned
Description
Description
Items affected:
- File --> New Session
- File --> Open Project...
- View --> Toggle Sidebar
- View --> Toggle Terminal
- View --> Toggle File Tree
See screenshots below.
The corresponding titlebar buttons work fine (e.g. the "New session" button), so this is isolated to the menu layer.
Plugins
No plugins
OpenCode version
1.18.14
Steps to reproduce
- Launch OpenCode Desktop.
- Open the app menu (top-left "OpenCode" button) --> click File.
- Observe that New Session and Open Project... are disabled (grey).
- Click View - Toggle Sidebar, Toggle Terminal, Toggle File Tree are also disabled.
Expected behavior: All menu items should be enabled when the app is running and connected (server status is green).
Note: This one can potentially be a duplicate of #39785, as it appears to have the same root cause.
Additional Information
- The issue occurs across all desktop versions I've tried in my Linux environment, and also after fully resetting the app's UI state (
~/.config/ai.opencode.desktop) - so it is not stale/corrupt state. - Sidecar/server runs fine; sessions are created and listed correctly. Only the menu's enabled state is wrong.

Windows confirmation with root cause — OpenCode Desktop 2.0.22.
The menu template maps these entries to commands:
sidebar.toggle,terminal.toggle,fileTree.toggle. The renderer enables a command entry only if that id exists in the registry:let n = options.find(o => o.id === id); return n ? n.disabled ?? false : trueAn unknown id therefore means permanently disabled. Registration counts in
app.asar:sidebar.toggle= 0,terminal.toggle= 0,fileTree.toggle= 1 (wrapped in a condition). Entries that useaction/roleinstead ofcommandare unaffected.Not stale state: reproduced after a clean start, and window width makes no difference (checked 1121 px and 1324 px — the sidebar itself renders fine at both, so this is purely the menu layer).
Workaround for the sidebar without the menu: Settings → General → row "Tabs" → "Vertical" (
