Branch switcher becomes unusable with a large number of changed files
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
26.715.31925, released July 18, 2026
What subscription do you have?
Pro x20
What platform is your computer?
macOS 26.5.2 (Build 25F84), Apple Silicon (arm64)
What issue are you seeing?
When I try to switch the current Git branch through the Codex App interface in a repository with many modified files, the branch switcher displays a very long list of changed files.
The list extends beyond the height of the window. No action buttons or other controls for completing the branch switch are visible or accessible, so I cannot switch to another branch through the app.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Feedback ID: no-active-thread-019f7903-6525-7cf0-a84a-d1bd1565d7f6
What is the expected behavior?
The changed-files view should remain usable regardless of the number of modified files. The file list should be contained in a scrollable area, while the relevant action buttons remain visible and accessible.
At minimum, the interface should clearly explain why the branch cannot be switched and provide available actions such as cancelling, switching while preserving changes, or stashing changes.
