@etraut-openai but again - it's just how it was working before. Previously I opened codex and zoom level was the same. Between sessions and pc reboots.

I am seeing the same problem on Windows with Codex Desktop 26.527.3686.0.

Steps to reproduce:

Launch Codex Desktop.
Use View > Zoom In or Ctrl+= to increase the window zoom level.
Quit Codex completely.
Launch Codex again.

Actual behavior:
The UI returns to the default zoom level after every restart.

Expected behavior:
The previously selected zoom level remains after restarting the app.

Environment:

Codex Desktop: 26.527.3686.0
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19045 x64
