Improve branch selection UI for long branch names in the Codex app

Suggestion

I’ve run into a usability issue with the branch selector in the Codex app when branch names are long and similar.

Right now, long branch names are truncated in the branch dropdown. That becomes a real problem when multiple branches share the same prefix, because I can’t clearly tell which branch is which. There also doesn’t seem to be a hover state, tooltip, horizontal scroll, or any other way to view the full branch name.

As a result, selecting the correct branch becomes guesswork, especially in repositories that use long descriptive branch names.

I’m attaching a screenshot to show what I mean more clearly.

Hey @Arbeitnehmer! Appreciate you flagging this. I can see how this would get frustrating pretty quickly when long branch names all start the same and there’s no clean way to see the rest.

Really helpful report, and the screenshot adds a lot. I can’t share a timeline right now, but I’ll pass it along internally.

Thank Sunny, seems like, it got solve with a hover effect (maybe during the last update):
