What issue are you seeing?

Codex Windows Desktop displays historical thread messages in the wrong order after restarting the app.

The issue is not that the raw chat/session content is deleted. The problem appears to be in the Desktop app UI/session rehydration layer.

Observed behavior:

  • After opening Codex, the project/thread list initially appears normal.
  • After a short delay, while the app finishes loading local sessions, some thread titles change automatically.
  • Opening affected threads shows messages in reversed or scrambled order.
  • This happens across multiple projects and multiple threads.
  • Some old threads also show unstable titles after the app finishes loading.
  • Restarting Codex does not fix the issue.
  • Microsoft Store / winget reports that no newer Codex version is available.
  • I have already submitted in-app feedback with logs included.

This looks like a Codex Desktop local UI cache / thread index / session rehydration bug, not corrupted source project files.

中文说明:
Codex Windows 桌面版在关闭并重新打开后,历史聊天记录的显示顺序会出现倒序或错乱。

这个问题不是原始聊天内容被删除,也不像是项目文件损坏,更像是 Codex Desktop 在重新加载本地会话时,UI 缓存、线程索引或 session rehydration 出现了问题。

具体表现:

  • 刚打开 Codex 时,左侧项目/线程列表看起来是正常的。
  • 过一会儿,Codex 完成本地会话加载后,部分线程标题会自动变化。
  • 点开受影响的线程后,聊天消息会倒序显示,或者顺序错乱。
  • 这个问题影响多个项目和多个线程。
  • 一些旧线程标题也会在加载后发生变化。
  • 重启 Codex 无法解决。
  • Microsoft Store / winget 均提示没有可用更新。
  • 我已经通过 Codex 内置反馈提交过一次,并包含当前会话日志。
