What issue are you seeing?

I cant drag open images anymore into the terminal ..
I provided a local screenshot path but the assistant could not access or view it.

Codex says: " It only works with images that are actually uploaded/included in the chat session, not arbitrary local filesystem paths. This seems to be a path-availability limitation in the chat interface, not a problem with the image file itself."

• I couldn’t view the screenshot directly, but I made it readable using local OCR.
I copied the file into the workspace, then ran tesseract (the system tesseract binary at /usr/bin/tesseract) on the PNG and extracted text with its output. That gave me enough readable
lines to identify the page as a GitHub Issues view and the open “Create new issue in openai/codex” form fields.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
