Regression on Windows: session popup/minimum window replaced by "Open in new window"
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
Version 26.519.2081.0
What subscription do you have?
_No response_
What platform is your computer?
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (Version 2009, OS Build 19045)
What issue are you seeing?
In earlier Codex desktop versions, right-clicking a session provided a compact popup / minimum window style option for opening that session in a small separate window.
On my current Windows build, the session context menu only shows "Open in new window". The previous compact popup/minimum-window behavior appears to be missing.
This is not related to the Pet window feature. I am specifically referring to the older per-session popup/floating mini-window workflow opened from the session context menu.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open Codex Desktop on Windows.
- Go to the session list in the sidebar.
- Right-click any session.
- Observe the available menu items.
What is the expected behavior?
The previous compact popup / minimum window behavior should still be available for a session, or there should be an equivalent dedicated option for opening a session in a small floating window.
