Body
After updating to Codex Desktop 26.506.21252 (2575) on macOS, I’m seeing a fullscreen-only regression where the entire task-layer UI becomes unclickable.
App version: 26.506.21252 (2575)
OS: macOS 15.6.1 (24G90)
Regression: Yes (started right after this update)
Repro rate: Frequent / reproducible in fullscreen
What is affected
In fullscreen mode, task-layer interactions fail, including:
approval dialog option rows (e.g., “Yes”, “Yes, and don't ask again this session”, “No, and tell Codex what to do differently”)
Submit button
(observed previously as well) other task-level selectable rows/buttons in the same overlay
Steps to reproduce
Open Codex Desktop in fullscreen mode
Trigger a task/approval overlay (e.g., sandbox escalation approval)
Try selecting options and clicking Submit
Expected
Task-layer options and Submit should be clickable and actionable.
Actual
Task-layer controls do not respond to clicks in fullscreen.
Workaround
Exit fullscreen mode; interactions work again immediately.
Impact
Blocks task execution and approval flow during normal fullscreen usage.

Additional Repro Detail (more precise trigger)
I found a stronger trigger pattern for the unclickable Submit issue:
Open the approval dialog (with the bottom Submit button).
Click the top-right selector/floating control.
If the right-side panel is in floating/auto-hide mode and disappears, the bottom Submit button becomes unclickable.
If the right-side panel is pinned/fixed (always visible), the issue does not occur.
Observed behavior
Submit appears visible but cannot be clicked.
Exiting fullscreen is not always the true root cause; panel state (floating vs pinned) seems to be the key factor.
Workaround
Keep the right-side panel pinned/fixed before submitting approvals.
