Issue
The Codex in-app browser page content is being covered by the chat composer at the bottom of the window.
This is not specific to one website. I reproduced it on https://www.google.com/ and other pages as well.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Codex Desktop.
- Open the in-app browser.
- Navigate to https://www.google.com/.
- Observe the bottom area of the browser window.
- The page is rendered underneath / behind the Codex chat input composer.
Expected behavior
The in-app browser viewport should reserve space for the bottom chat composer, or resize so page content is not hidden behind it.
Actual behavior
The page content extends behind the bottom chat composer. This causes the browser page and Codex input area to visually overlap, making the bottom part of pages hard to view or interact with.
Notes
- This happens across all pages I tested, not only Google.
- It looks like a Codex Desktop layout / viewport inset issue rather than a website-specific problem.
Attachments
Please see the attached screenshot showing the Google page being overlapped by the Codex chat composer.
