Research direction

The issue identifies the response action toolbar in Codex Remote on the ChatGPT iOS app, but names no repository files or tests. Reproduce the narrow-width layout on an iPhone 13 Pro, then determine which responsive treatment prevents character-by-character wrapping while preserving tap targets, VoiceOver labels, and Dynamic Type support.

Description

bug iOS remote
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

ChatGPT for iOS 1.2026.188 (29133674010), using Codex Remote.

What subscription do you have?

Not provided.

What platform is your computer?
  • iPhone 13 Pro
  • iOS 18.5
  • Surface: Codex Remote in the ChatGPT iOS app, connected to a Mac Codex host
What issue are you seeing?

The action toolbar beneath an assistant response is forced into one horizontal row containing Copy, Good response, Bad response, and Fork.

On the iPhone 13 Pro, the two longer labels receive columns so narrow that they wrap across several lines, including inside words. This makes the toolbar unusually tall and makes the feedback actions difficult to scan and understand.

This appears to be a compact-width responsive layout issue rather than a problem with the response content.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
  1. Open ChatGPT for iOS.
  2. Open Codex Remote and connect to a desktop Codex host.
  3. Open a conversation containing a completed assistant response.
  4. Scroll to the action toolbar below that response.
  5. Observe the layout of Copy, Good response, Bad response, and Fork.
What is the expected behavior?

The response action toolbar should adapt to compact iPhone widths without wrapping labels inside words, overlapping controls, or becoming excessively tall.

Possible responsive treatments include using icon-only controls with accessibility labels, allowing a deliberate two-row layout, or moving lower-priority actions into an overflow menu. Tap targets and VoiceOver labels should remain accessible, including when Dynamic Type is enabled.

Additional information
  • Device: iPhone 13 Pro
  • iOS: 18.5
  • ChatGPT for iOS: 1.2026.188 (29133674010)
  • Display Zoom, Dynamic Type, and other accessibility text settings were not available when this report was prepared.
  • A screenshot reproducing the issue exists, but it was not attached because it contains conversation text and a local computer hostname. A sanitized screenshot can be provided if requested.
  • A duplicate search for iOS response-action wrapping, Copy/Fork, and Good/Bad response labels did not find an existing matching report.
