VS Code
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26100.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
When the chat gets too long in codex, opening it in the GUI causes it to become a grey screen after a while as I think its fetching previous chats. After the grey screen appears, it can't be interacted with again until I close vs code, and reopen it.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
I open the codex chat in vs code, start chatting with it to do stuff, and after a while the chat gets too long and grey screens start.
What is the expected behavior?
No grey screen when chat gets too long
Additional information
