Description
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
Version 26.825.51511
What subscription do you have?
ChatGPT Plus
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
I used to have many tasks/projects and work on it alternating between then from time to time. That's my flow 95% of time.
After a ChatGPT desktop update I cannot open and continue to work on a chat from the search window results. A click on a chat from a search result pop up, opens the chat also on a pop up. This pop up does not allow to continue on the chat workflow. To my workflow it's unaceptable.
Given the time this new way of work is active, I cannot believe it will be turned back the way it worked before.
A reasonable way, the old way, is to open the chat in the main window and allow the same workflow that with a chat opened from the chat list at the left of the window.

What is the expected behavior?
Open the chat in the main window, like before. Not in a useless pop up.
