Description
The new ChatGPT desktop app renders a duplicated error view
outside the main UI / on the right side of the window.
The duplicated view remains even after restarting and reinstalling
the application.
Troubleshooting already performed:
- Reinstalled ChatGPT
- Cleared ChatGPT/Codex cache and preferences
- Restarted the application
- Tested 144 Hz and 60 Hz
- Confirmed only one display is connected
- Issue persists
Relevant macOS logs:
- Unhandled disconnected auxiliary scene
- Unhandled disconnected scene
- FBSWorkspaceScenesClient failed
The application itself does not appear to crash.
The process exits normally with exit(0).
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Install and launch the latest ChatGPT/Codex desktop app on macOS.
- Open the application normally.
- The app displays the "ChatGPT에 문제가 발생했습니다" ("There was a problem with ChatGPT") error screen.
- A duplicated copy of the same error UI appears simultaneously on the right/bottom-right side of the window and is partially clipped.
- Resizing or reopening the application does not resolve the issue.
The issue is consistently reproducible after relaunching the application.
Troubleshooting already attempted:
- Completely quit and relaunched the app.
- Reinstalled the application.
- Cleared com.openai.codex cache and preferences.
- Restarted macOS.
- Tested both 144 Hz and 60 Hz display refresh rates.
- Confirmed that only one display is active.
- The issue still persists.
No code snippet, session ID, token usage, or context window usage is applicable because the issue occurs at the desktop application UI/window level, not during a Codex session.
What is the expected behavior?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the duplicated error view in the macOS desktop app and review the reported FBSWorkspaceScenesClient and disconnected scene logs. Trace the desktop window or auxiliary-scene entry point responsible for the extra view. Done means the error UI appears only once after launch, relaunch, resizing, and reinstall.
