Prompt Submission Disabled When Canvas Icon Appears

I am writing to report an issue I have been experiencing with the chat interface over the past few days. In many conversations, I frequently see the icon of a pen with a plus symbol, which appears to allow switching to the Canvas mode. However, when this icon appears, the ability to send prompts in the conversation is disabled.

Even if I switch to the Canvas mode by clicking the icon, I find myself unable to proceed further as it leaves me in a dead-end state where I can no longer send prompts.

This issue has been impacting my ability to use the platform effectively, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could look into it or suggest a workaround.

Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

Hi,

Welcome to the forum.

I believe this is what you are refering to:

How is yours different on mouse over and what system are you using? PC/MacOS?

Hello. No, I’m referring to this…

OK…

This is a developer forum run by volunteers…

I can make a suggestion that may work and other Developers may have better ideas as I cant replicate this. You can also contact https://help.openai.com/ for help.

I am not having my input box disable as you are…

You could try:

Selecting Canvas right at the beginning. Then press enter with just the word ‘Canvas’ that it added as text then it will load canvas

This may bypass this bug in the short term until it’s fixed.
