What version of the IDE extension are you using?
26.422.21459
What subscription do you have?
OpenAI API
Which IDE are you using?
VS Code
What platform is your computer?
windows
What issue are you seeing?
the dropdown for "Select where to run the task" - "Work locally"/"Send to Cloud" occupies a lot of space
It's not something I use often, and to be precise - ever, because Cloud option isn't even available, but yet it takes almost two lines of text height.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Open Codex extension in the sidebar.
What is the expected behavior?
Would be amazing to either hide the dropdown, or move somewhere, or make foldable.

Maybe UI-related, but not a duplicate. This one is even worse than the Model selector size, since this one occupies a whole row.
This feature request hasn't received enough upvotes, so I'm closing.
@etraut-openai sorry, but it wasn't "completed", and then - how many votes you need to fix basic UI issues?
You have 5k open issues, of course you don't have enough votes for everything, but it's not a good reason to just ignore them by closing...
