Codex Desktop Windows: tooltips/popovers are misplaced or clipped after text zoom changes

Summary

In Codex Desktop on Windows, changing the text/UI zoom level with keyboard zoom shortcuts such as Ctrl+ / Ctrl+= can make hover labels, tooltips, and explanatory popovers render in the wrong position. Some labels shift away from their target element, and some longer hover descriptions render partially or fully outside the visible viewport, making them unreadable.

This is especially visible in the Italian UI, but the underlying issue appears to be tooltip/popover positioning after zoom changes rather than translation-specific text alone.

Environment

Windows 11 Pro 64-bit, build 26200
Codex Desktop package: OpenAI.Codex 26.601.2237.0
codex-cli: 0.130.0-alpha.5
UI language observed: Italian

Observed examples

• The hover label for the bottom action Aggiungi alla chat becomes visually detached / shifted from its trigger after text size is changed.
• The same kind of issue occurs for the options shown by Ask User Question: when hovering an option, the longer explanatory description can appear too far from the option and often goes outside the visible area, so the text cannot be read.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Codex Desktop on Windows.
2. Increase the app text/UI zoom using Ctrl+ / Ctrl+=.
3. Hover over bottom action buttons such as Aggiungi alla chat.
4. Trigger an Ask User Question interaction and hover over one of the selectable options to show its explanatory description.
5. Observe tooltip/popover placement.

Expected behavior

Tooltips and explanatory popovers should remain anchored to their trigger element after text/UI zoom changes, and should be collision-aware:

• stay inside the visible app viewport;
• flip/reposition when there is not enough space;
• wrap text within a readable max width;
• avoid overlapping unrelated UI in a way that makes the text unreadable.

Actual behavior

After changing text/UI zoom, labels and popovers can shift to incorrect positions. Longer descriptions can render offscreen or outside the visible field, making the tooltip/popover content unreadable.

Notes

This looks like a frontend layout/positioning issue in the tooltip/popover layer after zoom or font-size changes. It may need the overlay positioning to be recalculated after zoom changes and to enforce viewport collision handling for translated/longer labels.
