Description
Hi LMSYS Team!
I really love using your platform, but there is one major issue with the UI layout. The "Clear History" button is placed in a way that makes it extremely easy to click by accident. I have accidentally wiped my entire chat history multiple times in a single day just by misclicking while scrolling.
Could you please consider adding one of the following safety measures:
1. A confirmation pop-up (e.g., "Are you sure you want to clear your history? Yes/Cancel").
2. Moving the "Clear History" button further away from the main chat controls or hiding it inside a sub-menu.
This small tweak would be a massive lifesaver for users with clumsy fingers!
Thank you for your amazing work!

Research direction
The issue does not name a file, test, or UI entry point, so start by locating the Clear History control in the chat interface and checking its current interaction. Done means accidental clicks no longer erase chat history, either through a confirmation step or a safer control placement, with the chosen behavior verified in the interface.
