What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
Version 26.429.30905 (2345)
What subscription do you have?
Pro
What platform is your computer?
macOS
What issue are you seeing?
I have two screens, and both codex and the little Pet window are on the same screen. I switch between 'desktops' on the mac (using mission control) on the same screen codex is - when I'm on a different screen, any notification update / message update from Codex forces a 'Desktop Switch' back to where Codex App is running. I frequently get interrupted as I've got my browser opened on a different desktop.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Have Codex on Screen 2, Desktop 2 or 3 etc, have the Pet showing in the corner of the same screen
- Switch to Desktop 1 on the same screen
- Any update in Codex forces a Desktop switch from 1 → 2
What is the expected behavior?
Stop switching the active desktop
