Description
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
26.803.10989.0
What subscription do you have?
Pro
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
Starting a new thread in a workspace that already has an active thread causes the existing thread to disappear from that workspace in Activity View. The thread still exists; toggling Activity View off and on makes both threads visible again.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Enable Activity View.
- Open a workspace with one active thread.
- Start a new thread in the same workspace.
- Observe that the previous thread is no longer listed.
- Disable and re-enable Activity View; both threads appear again.
What is the expected behavior?
Activity View should update immediately and keep all threads in the workspace visible.
Additional information
Workaround: disable and re-enable Activity View.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Activity View on Windows: open a workspace with one active thread, start another thread, and observe the missing entry. Trace the Activity View update path for workspace threads and verify that creating a thread immediately keeps all existing threads visible without toggling the view.
