What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.727.11326

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

Generated file links render as plain text and are not clickable in the new ChatGPT Windows desktop app. Normal HTTPS links work. The same file downloads correctly from Library and ChatGPT Classic. Resetting the app did not resolve the issue. The generated file link is visible and downloadable on mobile, web, and ChatGPT Classic. It only renders as plain text in the new Windows desktop app.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Feedback ID: no-active-thread-019fb0f0-9cfa-72b0-95d7-0bb16a6435ef

What is the expected behavior?

The generated file should appear as a clickable attachment or download link in the new ChatGPT Windows desktop app, consistent with ChatGPT Classic, the web version, and the mobile app. Clicking the file name should download or open the generated DOCX file. The link should not be displayed as non-clickable plain text.
