Windows app: opening a modified local file interrupts the active turn

Open 💬 1 comment Opened Jun 30, 2026 by ruphp

Summary

In the Codex Windows app, clicking a local file link while the assistant is actively working unexpectedly interrupts/cancels the active turn.

Reproduction

  1. Start a turn that edits or prepares a local file.
  2. While the turn is still active, click the displayed link for the changed/local file.
  3. 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
