What issue are you seeing?

The timer in Codex Desktop for how long a command has been running resets when navigating away from the current thread view to any other view, and then returning to the same thread.
This makes elapsed time tracking inaccurate for the command.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open Codex Desktop App and open any thread.
  2. Get Codex to start a longer running command
  3. Observe the running timer in the thread view.
  4. Switch to any other view that is not the thread.
  5. Switch back to the same thread.
  6. Observe that the timer has reset instead of preserving elapsed time.

What is the expected behavior?

Elapsed command time is preserved between view switches
