Codex VSCode Extension - Tiny fixed size review window

I found one issue with while using “Default permissions”.

The popup window is very small, which makes it hard to properly review larger diffs. For anything beyond tiny edits, scrolling inside that cramped window feels pretty inconvenient and increases the chance of missing something.

Is there any way to:
• resize this popup
• maximize it

Also, as far as I can see, there’s no way to open the diff in regular Git because the changes haven’t been applied to the working copy yet.

Only 4 lines are visible

(copied and pasted from reddit, but I ran into the same issue when trying to tune my AGENTS.md)

It’s terrible, making the review window, well, useless. The interesting part is that when i.e. you agree to the proposed changes, the “edited file” diff window is noticeably bigger. At some point I opened a “Codex diff“ panel in main window, which was quite cool - no idea how I did that though…

You can only open the large preview window only after the changes are accepted. Since reverting changes is pretty easy, I think the best course of action for now is to just “Accept” whatever changes are suggested, let Codex do them, and then do the proper review in the larger window.
