Summary
In the Codex Windows app, clicking a local file link while the assistant is actively working unexpectedly interrupts/cancels the active turn.
Reproduction
- Start a turn that edits or prepares a local file.
- While the turn is still active, click the displayed link for the changed/local file.
- The active assistant turn stops before its pending action completes.
Observed twice in the same thread.
Expected
The file should open without interrupting the active turn.
Environment
- Windows 10 Pro 22H2, build 19045, 64-bit
- AMD Ryzen 7 7700
- 16 GB RAM
- Codex desktop app
