What issue are you seeing?
I see that whenever I close an opened image, the entire Codex client exits instead of just closing the image.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Launch the Codex application.
- From the main interface, open any image file (e.g., using
File > Openor by double‑clicking a thumbnail in the library). - Once the image is displayed in a separate view/tab, click the close button (the ‘X’ icon) on that image window, or press
Ctrl+W(Windows/Linux) /Cmd+W(macOS) to close the image. - Observe that the entire Codex client exits immediately instead of returning to the main window.
What is the expected behavior?
