What issue are you seeing?

When running a long execution task in Custom(config.toml) mode, I explicitly asked the main orchestration agent to delegate work to subagents.

During the task, a subagent attempted to edit a file outside the current workspace. Codex correctly showed a permission confirmation popup asking whether to allow the subagent to create or modify updates outside the workspace.

However, the buttons in the confirmation popup did not respond to mouse clicks. I could see that Codex was not completely frozen, because the main orchestration agent was still working. The problem appeared to be isolated to the confirmation popup or modal interaction layer.

Because I could not click either confirmation button, the subagent workflow was blocked. The only recovery path I found was to force quit Codex and restart it.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open Codex Desktop on macOS.
2. Start a long-running task.
3. Use Custom(config.toml) mode.
4. Explicitly ask the main orchestration agent to delegate work to one or more subagents.
5. Have a subagent attempt to edit or create a file outside the current workspace.
6. Wait for Codex to show the permission confirmation popup for the outside-workspace file update.
7. Try to click the confirmation buttons in the popup.

What is the expected behavior?

The permission confirmation popup buttons should remain responsive to mouse clicks.

I should be able to approve or reject the subagent’s outside-workspace file edit request without interrupting or force quitting the main orchestration task.
