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.
