What subscription do you have?
Plus
What platform is your computer?
Windows 25H2
What issue are you seeing?
The annoying window that opens when clicking the Codex tray icon on Windows flickers twice in an ugly manner and temporarily draws invisible transparent shadow box around itself. It looks really unprofessional and glitchy.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Click the codex tray icon on Windows
What is the expected behavior?
Ideally, clicking the tray icon opens the actual codex app, not the useless annoying popout Window.
Alternatively, the popout Window appears instantly, in a non visually embarrassing manner.
