What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
Version 26.623.101652
What subscription do you have?
Enterprise

Darwin 25.5.0 arm64 arm
What issue are you seeing?
In the Codex app sidebar, the Projects section can be accessed while the main app sidebar is expanded or collapsed. When the app sidebar is collapsed, clicking the Create Project icon in the corner opens the Create Project popup briefly, but it closes automatically after approximately 1–2 seconds.
When the app sidebar is expanded, creating a project from the Projects option works correctly: the popup stays open.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open the Codex desktop app.
- Collapse the main app sidebar.
- Click the Create Project icon/button in the corner of the collapsed sidebar.
- Observe the Create Project popup open.
- After about 1–2 seconds, the popup closes automatically.
What is the expected behavior?
The Create Project popup should stay open after it is launched from the collapsed app sidebar, just as it does when launched from the expanded sidebar.
