Bug

The Codex Desktop “Plugins” page renders with a large black overlay/glitch that covers the plugin cards and makes the page mostly unusable.

Environment

  • Codex Desktop: 26.429.30905
  • Build: 2345
  • Electron: 41.2.0
  • macOS: 26.4.1
  • Mac: MacBookPro16,1
  • CPU: Intel Core i9
  • GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630 + AMD Radeon Pro 5500M
  • UI language: French

What I tried

  • Reset macOS, issue still present
  • Removed Codex caches:
  • GPUCache
  • DawnGraphiteCache
  • DawnWebGPUCache
  • Cache
  • Reinstalled Codex from the official DMG
  • Disabled automatic graphics switching
  • Launched from /Applications/Codex.app
  • Removed quarantine attribute

None of these fixed the issue.

Expected

The Plugins page should render normally.

Actual

A large black rectangle/overlay appears over the page, hiding much of the UI. The rest of Codex appears usable, but the Modules d'extension / Plugins page is visually broken.

Screenshot

I can provide screenshots showing the overlay if needed.
