[macOS] Edit action missing for user messages in ChatGPT surface
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
26.715.61943 (5628)
What subscription do you have?
Plus
What platform is your computer?
macOS 27.0 (build 26A5388g), arm64
What issue are you seeing?
I’m seeing this in the ChatGPT surface of the combined desktop app: when I hover over a message I sent, the only available action is Copy. There is no Edit action.
I tried several ChatGPT conversations and got the same result. I also switched to Codex and sent the same test text (test). Codex shows both Copy and Edit, while ChatGPT only shows Copy. The screenshots below were taken nine seconds apart during the same app session.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Select ChatGPT in the app.
- Open an existing conversation or start a new one.
- Send a message and wait for the reply.
- Hover over the message you sent to reveal its actions.
- Observe that Copy is available but Edit is missing.
What is the expected behavior?
I should be able to edit my own eligible messages from the ChatGPT surface.
