Description

Codex Browser annotation styling is fixed in the latest update, but selecting an element inside an open popup still triggers the page’s outside-interaction dismissal. The popup closes immediately while the annotation frame remains at its former position, outlining empty space. Annotation mode should suppress page blur/outside-click effects and preserve the popup state.

Research direction

Reproduce the dismissal in Codex Browser annotation mode using an open popup in a React or Next.js app, such as HeroUI or MUI. Start by tracing annotation selection and the page outside-interaction handling. The work is done when selecting inside the popup leaves it open, suppresses blur/outside-click dismissal, and keeps the annotation frame aligned with the selected element.
