Description
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
26.915.31945
What subscription do you have?
ChatGPT Pro
What platform is your computer?
Linux 7.2.6-1-cachyos-bore x86_64 unknown
What issue are you seeing?
After renaming a chat session, the app becomes unresponsive for several seconds. During this pause, scrolling and other UI interactions do not respond.
I also tested with --ozone-platform=x11 and --disable-gpu, but the issue persisted.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open the desktop app on CachyOS Linux in a Hyprland Wayland session.
- Rename an existing chat session and confirm the new name.
- Immediately try scrolling or interacting with the app.
- Observe that the interface is unresponsive for several seconds.
What is the expected behavior?
Renaming a chat should update its title without blocking scrolling or other UI interactions.

Research direction
Reproduce the pause in the Codex desktop app on CachyOS Linux under Hyprland Wayland by renaming a chat and immediately scrolling. Compare the Wayland, X11, and --disable-gpu launches described in the report; done means renaming updates the title without blocking scrolling or other interactions.
