Codex Windows app: parts of the UI disappear or become transparent when the window is maximized at 1920x1080
Description
When I maximize the Codex desktop app on Windows at Full HD resolution, parts of the interface are not rendered correctly.
The affected areas include the chat sidebar and the Files UI. Some parts of the application window become transparent or disappear, exposing the Windows desktop behind the app.
Steps to reproduce
- Launch the Codex desktop app on Windows.
- Use a display with resolution set to 1920x1080.
- Maximize the Codex window.
- Observe that parts of the interface disappear or are rendered as transparent areas.
Expected behavior
The entire Codex interface should remain visible and render correctly when the window is maximized.
Actual behavior
Parts of the app surface are missing or transparent. The chat sidebar and Files-related UI may disappear or render incorrectly.
