Bug: Translucent sidebar flickers abnormally when switching
Open 💬 1 comment Opened Jul 17, 2026 by yizhoupan3-debug
Description
The translucent (半透明) sidebar frequently exhibits abnormal flickering/glitching when toggling or switching between views.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Codex Desktop
- Toggle the translucent sidebar open/closed, or switch between sidebar sections
- Observe visual flickering — brief flashes, ghost frames, or inconsistent opacity transitions
Expected behavior
Smooth, consistent sidebar transition without flicker artifacts.
Actual behavior
During sidebar toggle/switch, the translucent layer flickers — intermittent bright/dark flashes or partial redraws visible.
Environment
- Codex Desktop (latest stable)
- macOS (Apple Silicon)
Additional context
This appears related to the translucent/blur rendering pipeline during state transitions. Possibly a compositor race or missing intermediate frame during opacity animation.
