What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
Version 26.715.61943
What subscription do you have?
Business
What platform is your computer?
Windows 11
What issue are you seeing?
When images are being generated and similar tasks are taking place, and the ChatGPT app is minimized, it should remain minimized at all times. Also, typing in the app during such image generation should not be interrupted by preview images popping up all the time. These are just a few basic guidelines that ensure an uninterrupted working flow.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Ask ChatGPT to generate x images
- Minimize the ChatGPT app or enter additional instructions in the same task
- Keep an eye out for interruptions, as ChatGPT may maximize itself or shift focus away from the text field.
What is the expected behavior?
No unnecessary interruptions to work.
