Codex Desktop chat UI is stuck, needs shaking before it refreshes

The chat widget progress indicator stays in this exact shape, doesn’t rotate (symptom).

Also, chat content simply does not refresh. I see “Thinking” (does not animate, does not move like it used to), and I have to click into a couple of sub agent chats before the main chat thread decides to show the updated chat state (i.e. the response to my question).

Hey @nickzsb.nz, yeah, a frozen “Thinking” state where the response only appears after switching chats definitely isn’t ideal.

Since this is an older thread dated July 13 - the desktop app was updated around this time, could you make sure you’re on the latest version?

If it still reproduces, please share your OS + desktop app version, along with the approximate time/time zone when it happens? Please open a support request at support@openai.com. We’re going to close it for now.
