What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.323

What subscription do you have?

pro

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26100.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

When the app language is set to Japanese, some labels in Settings overflow or become clipped.
In Settings > Appearance, increasing the UI font size from 13 to 14 or 15 causes text to extend beyond the available layout area.
This looks like a localization/layout issue affecting the Japanese UI.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open Codex App.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Set the app language to Japanese.
  4. Open Appearance.
  5. Increase UI font size from 13 to 14 or 15.
  6. Observe that some Japanese labels overflow or do not fit properly in the settings UI.

What is the expected behavior?

Japanese text should remain fully visible and properly aligned when UI font size is increased.
Increasing the UI font size should not cause labels or controls to overflow, overlap, or become clipped.

Additional information

This may be related to issue #13672, which also appears to involve Japanese localization and UI layout problems.
In my case, the issue occurs specifically in Settings > Appearance when increasing UI font size.
