Description
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
26.903.71938
What subscription do you have?
Pro
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm
What issue are you seeing?
Observed:
- Computer Use initially returns complete Lightroom screenshots.
- After automated clicks, its screenshots omit the side panels, module picker, and filmstrip.
- The panels remain visible on the physical display, and an independent capture method still captures them while Computer Use screenshots are incomplete.
The missing panel regions appear black within the unchanged image dimensions; the photo remains visible.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
mcp__cua_repl.js:
- Open Lightroom → Develop with panels visible.
- Run
let lr = await cua.getApp("com.adobe.LightroomClassicCC7");, then separatelyawait lr.getScreenshot();. Confirm a complete screenshot. - Click somewhere and capture again:
await lr.click([350, 9], {mouseButton: "left"});
await lr.getScreenshot();
What is the expected behavior?
Expected: panels remain in the screenshot. Actual: panels are missing.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with mcp__cua_repl.js using Lightroom Classic on macOS: capture the initial screenshot, perform the documented click, and capture again. Trace the Computer Use screenshot path and compare it with the independent capture while checking the side panels, module picker, and filmstrip. Done means post-click screenshots retain those regions without changing the existing reproduction behavior.
