macOS 26.715.52143: Arabic RTL is still broken and text remains left-aligned. The left sidebar for folders, projects, and chats also scrolls with noticeable lag, stuttering, and brief freezes compared with the smooth web experience.

What issue are you seeing?

After updating the Codex macOS app to version 26.715.52143, I am still experiencing two issues:

  1. Arabic RTL formatting is not handled correctly. Arabic messages remain left-aligned instead of appearing naturally from right to left.
  1. Scrolling in the left sidebar is noticeably laggy. The sidebar containing folders, projects, and conversations frequently stutters, briefly freezes, and feels much less smooth than the web version.

Expected behavior:

  • Arabic content should be displayed with correct RTL alignment.
  • Sidebar scrolling should remain smooth and responsive.

Platform:

  • Mac Intel
  • macOS
  • Plus subscription
  • Codex version 26.715.52143
