Codex desktop spellcheck underlines misspellings but context menu shows “No Guesses Found”

Environment:
- Codex desktop app on Windows
- Codex version: 26.611.8604.0
- Language: English (en-US)
Issue:
The Codex chat input underlines misspelled words, but right-clicking the underlined word shows “No Guesses Found” instead of spelling suggestions.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open Codex desktop app on Windows.
- Type a misspelled word in the chat input, e.g. “teh” or “wrte”.
- Right-click the underlined word.
Expected:
The context menu should suggest corrections such as “the” for “teh” and “write” for “wrte”.
Actual:
The context menu says “No Guesses Found”.
Troubleshooting already tried:
- Windows spellcheck/autocorrect enabled.
- English (en-US) language capability installed.
- Codex Chromium/Electron preferences set to en-US.
- Chromium dictionary files installed:
- en-US-9-0.bdic
- en-US-10-1.bdic
- Restarted Codex.
Additional note:
Misspelling detection works because the red underline appears. The problem seems limited to suggestion candidates not being exposed in the context menu.
