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

Version 26.527.60818 (3437)

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.5.0 arm64 arm (macOS Tahoe 26.5 (25F71))

What issue are you seeing?

Codex pets will often cause an overlay issue wherein the inability to click on items in the windows underneath occurs not only to the area immediately under the pet, but also areas much further away on screen. This is never immediate --- only shows up usually hours into a session. Impacts all windows, not just codex (chrome, chatgpt atlas, spotify, etc...). Closing the pet or Codex does not resolve issue. Only full OS restart has been able to thus far.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

No clear sense yet of the reproduction of the issue but it has occurred in 100% of cases where a codex pet was kept open for many hours. May involve laptop going to sleep and waking back up, but not certain.

What is the expected behavior?
