Severe display/rendering corruption in Codex app on Intel Mac
Severe display/rendering corruption in Codex app on Intel Mac
Summary
The Codex desktop app has a severe UI rendering/display bug on my Intel MacBook Pro. Several pages are rendered with large blank or clipped areas, misplaced content, and broken rounded borders/shadows. This makes the app very difficult to use.
I suspect this may be related to the Intel Mac build or rendering path, because the machine is an Intel-based MacBook Pro.
Environment
- Codex app version:
26.422.71525 - Bundle identifier:
com.openai.codex - Mac model:

Impact
This severely affects daily use of the Codex desktop app. Please help investigate and prioritize a fix, especially for Intel Mac users.

“Electron may have compatibility issues with Intel integrated graphics on Intel-based MacBooks, which can lead to rendering glitches or performance problems.
On macOS, you can force the application to use the discrete GPU to work around this issue. For example:
open -a "Codex" --args --force_high_performance_gpu
Most Chrome/Electron-based applications can be launched this way, which helps avoid rendering errors or lag caused by Intel integrated graphics.”
