Codex Desktop on Windows: sidebar content is cut off when status bar is visible
Bug report
In Codex Desktop on Windows, the layout breaks when the side panel/sidebar is open while the bottom status/input bar is visible. The sidebar area that shows progress, outputs, side chats, and subagent threads can be cut off at the bottom, so the subagent/thread list is only partially visible or difficult to use.
Environment
- App: Codex Desktop
- Platform: Windows
- Layout: multi-pane/thread view with the sidebar open
- Visible UI involved: sidebar/progress panel, subagent/thread list, bottom status/input bar
Current behavior
When the sidebar is open and the bottom status/input bar is present, the sidebar does not appear to reserve enough vertical space for the bottom bar. Lower sidebar content, especially the subagent/thread list, can be clipped or hidden.
This makes it hard to monitor or switch between subagent threads from the sidebar.
Expected behavior
The sidebar should fit within the available viewport when the bottom status/input bar is visible. Sidebar content should remain readable and scrollable within its own bounded area, and the subagent/thread list should not be clipped by the bottom UI.
Repro outline
- Open Codex Desktop on Windows.
- Open a thread with the sidebar/progress panel visible.
- Ensure the bottom status/input bar is visible.
- Have enough sidebar content to include progress items, outputs, side chats, and multiple subagents.
- Observe that the lower sidebar content is cut off, including the subagent/thread list.
