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

26.519.21041

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

win 10

What issue are you seeing?

After upgrading Codex Desktop, hovering over the side panel toggle button in the top-right action/title bar shows two tooltips at the same time.

One tooltip appears as the app-styled tooltip:

Toggle side panel Ctrl+Alt+B

Another native-looking tooltip also appears below it:

Toggle side panel

This creates a duplicated/overlapping tooltip UI.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open Codex Desktop on Windows.
  2. Move the mouse over the side panel toggle button in the top-right action/title bar.
  3. Wait briefly for the tooltip to appear.
  4. Observe that two tooltips are shown at the same time.

What is the expected behavior?

Only one tooltip should be shown when hovering over the side panel toggle button, preferably the Codex-styled tooltip that includes the keyboard shortcut.

Additional information

This started after upgrading Codex Desktop.

The issue looks like the same button may be triggering both a custom app tooltip and a native/system tooltip. Screenshot attached.
