What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.513.20950 (build 2816)

What subscription do you have?

Unknown / not shown in this report

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.5.0 arm64 arm (macOS 26.5 build 25F71)

What issue are you seeing?

The Codex desktop app crashes / disappears after a specific toolbar mouse click sequence: left-click on the toolbar, then right-click on the toolbar, then left-click on the toolbar again.

This looks like a UI event handling issue around mixed primary-click and secondary-click handling in the desktop app toolbar. I did not find a recent macOS crash report under ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Launch the Codex desktop app on macOS.
  2. Move the mouse to the toolbar.
  3. Left-click a toolbar item.
  4. Right-click the toolbar.
  5. Left-click the toolbar again.

Observed result: the Codex desktop app crashes / disappears.

No code snippet is involved; this is a local UI interaction bug. Session id, token usage, and context window usage do not seem applicable.

What is the expected behavior?

The app should remain running. Right-clicking the toolbar should either show an intended context menu or be ignored safely, and the next left-click should not crash the app.
