What issue are you seeing?

Codex for Windows has a UI issue with the Ctrl+F search box. When I open the search box with Ctrl+F, it appears in the top-right corner, extremely close to the window control buttons. It is so close to the Close button that I cannot safely click near the search box to dismiss it, because the hover/click area of the Codex Close button gets triggered first. This makes it very easy to accidentally close the entire Codex window instead of just interacting with the search box.
