What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
26.506.20924
What subscription do you have?
Pro
What platform is your computer?
Windows 11 x64
What issue are you seeing?
If you click anywhere at open, Codex shows not responding (it's loading up, so it shouldn't respond) but other apps don't do this. Other apps either load fast or seem to show a loading indicator which prevents the "Not responding" from coming up for some time period. Or the loading happens before the window is shown.
