2026.1.0 - Desktop Client - Cannot create new folders / Cannot edit nested folders anymore

Hi all,

I’ve updated my bitwarden application to 2026.1.0 recently on macOS 26.3. After the update, the design changed, which was a surprise, but fine.

I tried to use my normal workflow and wanted to create a new folder in my own vault. This is not possible anymore. The “+” button isn’t visible anymore. I could not find the button somewhere else, so how to create new folders or is this a bug?

Next I wanted to rename one my of nested folders, as I did before. Tried to click the edit button - nothing happens. Doing this on the first level of folders still works fine.

I tried the same in the web version and everything worked as before.

(and also, a fix for this seems to be included in the next release)
