What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
26.506.21252
What subscription do you have?
API key (authMethod=apikey)
What platform is your computer?
macOS (26.4.1 as reported in app logs)
What issue are you seeing?
After updating Codex Desktop on macOS, I can no longer open Settings from the normal UI entry (profile/menu path).
However, Cmd + , still opens Settings successfully.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Update Codex Desktop to
26.506.21252. - Launch app with API key auth mode.
- Try to open Settings from the visible UI entry (menu/profile/settings entry).
- Observe that the entry is missing or clicking it does nothing.
- Press
Cmd + ,.
What is the expected behavior?
Settings should open from both:
- UI entry (menu/profile/settings)
- Keyboard shortcut (
Cmd + ,)
Additional information
I also see repeated telemetry/network errors in local logs around the same session, e.g.:
Statsig ... timeout.../ces/v1/rgstr ... 403ab.chatgpt.com/v1/initialize ... timeout
Not sure if related, but including in case this is feature-gating/config bootstrap related.
