🐞 Bug Report
App version: Codex Desktop Windows v26.623.101652
Release date: 2026-07-03
Description
When opening a new chat window from an existing conversation, the new window cannot interact with or select question/quick options. The UI appears present, but all question option buttons are unresponsive.
The original window continues to work normally.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Codex Desktop
- Enter any conversation
- Open a new chat window (new window / pop-out window)
- Try clicking any question options / quick-select buttons
- Observe that they do not respond
Expected Behavior
All question option buttons should be interactive and selectable in newly opened windows.
Actual Behavior
- Original window: works correctly
- New window: question options cannot be selected / no response to clicks
Notes
- Issue is reproducible consistently in v26.623.101652
- Likely related to UI initialization or event binding in multi-window context (possibly Electron window state / IPC wiring)
