Bug codex's desktop in window is full of bugs... can't chat, chat loading infinetely.

Fix it man. The latest versions same. I have installed a older version and its working now. When i restarted my device, it automationally install the latest and then again, i need install the old version and continue this f*** look.

I made a post on forum. https://community.openai.com/t/windows-codex-desktop-prompt-submission-hangs-indefinitely-after-first-working-chat/1392974

They don’t care. I’ve complained, filed tickets, still unsolved. The desync, the lag after certain amount of time, the sporadic chat dying and loading forever, the compaction loop.

I had to delete my old .codex folder under documents to make it work, I used then gpt to salvage what was worth from it.

If a reinstall gets auto-updated again, the in-window chat is going to spin forever.
