Linux app: history search results always open as Side Chat

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

26.803.81509

What subscription do you have?

What platform is your computer?

Linux 7.0.0-29-generic aarch64 unknown

What issue are you seeing?

In the ChatGPT Linux desktop app, selecting a conversation from history search (Ctrl+K) opens it as a Side Chat rather than opening the conversation in the main window.

Also, there appears to be no “Open in main window” action for the resulting Side Chat.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Feedback ID: no-active-thread-01a01555-c231-7af2-9f6c-650a1c1f6d17

What is the expected behavior?

Selecting a history search result should behave the same as selecting that conversation from the normal chat history/sidebar, i.e. navigate the main window to that conversation. This is also how chat-history search behaves in the web app.

User feedback: Windows shows the same history-search routing issue

• Source: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/39210#issuecomment-5352463366
• Type: external
• User reports:
  • “I can reproduce the same issue on the Windows ChatGPT app.”
  • Selecting a history-search result opens the conversation in Quick Chat instead of the main window, with no “Open in main window” action.
  • The reporter says this appears to be “the same routing/navigation issue” as the Linux report.

The payload does not name a source file or test. Start by locating the history-search result routing and compare it with the normal sidebar conversation navigation. Done means selecting a search result opens the conversation in the main window rather than Side Chat or Quick Chat, with regression coverage for the routing behavior.
