What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
Version 26.818.61809
What subscription do you have?
Pro
What platform is your computer?
macOS
What issue are you seeing?
App sometimes jarringly shows hover popups when I haven't moved the mouse. This is annoying.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
When the mouse is over the rollout, and the scroll changes moving a file that has a diff, the popup gets displayed.
What is the expected behavior?
Hover popups should only trigger after a mouse move and an intentional pause.
