What issue are you seeing?

Codex Desktop macOS plugin page renders with a large blank white overlay and clipped content.

Tried:

  • Reinstalled Codex
  • Cleared ~/Library/Application Support/Codex caches
  • Reset ~/Library/Application Support/Codex
  • Cleared and restored ~/.codex plugin caches
  • App signature verified valid on disk
  • Tried launching with --disable-gpu, but Codex crashes with:

GPU access not allowed. Reason: GPU access is disabled through commandline switch --disable-gpu

Environment:

  • Codex 26.519.41501, build 3044
  • macOS 26.5 build 25F71
  • x86_64
  • plugin/list succeeds in logs

Relevant renderer error:
ResizeObserver loop completed with undelivered notifications

Observed behavior:
The Plugins page content appears partially loaded, but a large blank white area overlays or clips the plugin marketplace content.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the Codex Desktop app on macOS.
  2. Go to the Plugins page from the left sidebar.
  3. Observe that the plugin marketplace page partially loads, but a large blank white area overlays or clips the content.
  4. Reinstalling Codex does not fix the issue.
  5. Clearing the following local cache/state folders does not fix the issue:
  • ~/Library/Application Support/Codex
  • ~/Library/Caches/com.openai.codex
  • ~/.codex/plugins/cache
  • ~/.codex/.tmp
  1. Launching Codex with --disable-gpu causes the app to crash with this error:

"GPU access not allowed. Reason: GPU access is disabled through commandline switch --disable-gpu"

Expected behavior:
The Plugins page should render normally and show the available plugins without being covered by a blank white overlay.

Actual behavior:
The Plugins page content is partially visible, but a large blank white area covers/clips the main content.

Environment:

  • Codex Desktop version: 26.519.41501, build 3044
  • macOS version: 26.5, build 25F71
  • Architecture: x86_64
  • App signature check: valid on disk

Relevant log/error:
ResizeObserver loop completed with undelivered notifications

Additional notes:
The plugin/list request appears to succeed in the logs, so this looks like a renderer/layout issue rather than missing plugin data.

What is the expected behavior?

_No response_
