Codex Windows app maximized window leaks thin strip onto adjacent monitor
Summary
The Codex Windows desktop app leaks a thin vertical strip of its maximized window onto the adjacent monitor in a dual-monitor setup. Other Windows applications maximize correctly and stay within the selected monitor.
Environment
- Product: Codex desktop app on Windows
- OS: Windows 11
- Codex app version:
26.601.2237.0 - Display setup: dual-monitor display
- Date observed: 2026-06-03, Asia/Seoul timezone
Steps to reproduce
- Use Windows 11 with a dual-monitor setup.
- Open the Codex desktop app.
- Move Codex to one monitor.
- Maximize the Codex window using the normal window maximize control.
- Observe that a thin vertical strip of the Codex window appears on the adjacent monitor.
- Click the adjacent monitor.
- Observe that the leaked strip briefly flickers/repaints.
Expected behavior
When maximized, the Codex window should remain fully contained within the selected monitor, like other Windows applications.
Actual behavior
A thin vertical strip of the Codex window extends onto the adjacent monitor. When focus changes by clicking the adjacent monitor, the strip briefly flickers/repaints; for a split second the desktop wallpaper appears, then the Codex strip appears again.
Additional details
F11fullscreen mode appears normal.- The issue only occurs with the normal maximized window state.
- Other applications on the same system maximize correctly and do not cross the monitor boundary.
This looks like a maximized-window frame/bounds calculation issue specific to the Codex Windows desktop app rather than a general Windows display configuration problem.
