The codex file changes button simply does not work. It does not do anything, at all, whatsoever.

Codex haphazardly proceeds to make changes to the code after simply being asked a question, without any implication of call to action. This has been an issue ever since Chat mode has been removed.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Ask codex to make some changes to the code across multiple files
  2. Click Undo button in the file changes block

What is the expected behavior?

The undo button works (or Chat mode is brought back)

Thanks for the bug report. This is a duplicate of #3567. And I'm happy to say that we think we have a fix for this problem in the next release.

谢谢你的bug报告。这是#3567的副本。我很高兴地说,我们认为下一个版本已经修复了这个问题。

完全没有任何修复,你们就是在糊弄用户,太无能了

@etraut-openai ~~That's great. Do we know when that release comes out, or can we get some hints to fix it locally until it does?~~

turns out running wsl code . in powershell doesn't actually launch vscode in wsl. works after manually switching it to wsl or running wsl, then code . in the project folder
