What is the issue?

Please consider adding the following user-confirmed workaround to the desktop app troubleshooting documentation, after reviewing its applicability.

Observed symptom

In the Windows desktop app's Codex view, an additional ChatGPT page overlapped the main conversation. It showed a ChatGPT heading and a Sign in button. No separate title bar or close button for the overlapping page was visible in the supplied screenshot, and the user could not find how to dismiss it.

The screenshot alone does not establish whether this was an embedded browser view, a separate window, or a rendering/layout problem.

Workaround confirmed by the user
  1. Open the existing conversation in a new application window.
  2. Close the original application window that contains the overlapping page.
  3. Continue in the new window.

The user explicitly confirmed that the additional page did not appear in the new window and that closing the original window also removed the page that had been overlapping it.

Suggested troubleshooting entry

An additional ChatGPT page overlaps the Codex window and has no visible close control

If you encounter this symptom, try opening the current conversation in a new window and then closing the original window. In one reported Windows case, the extra page was absent from the new window and disappeared when the original window was closed.

Treat this as a workaround reported for one occurrence. The cause and applicability to other app versions have not been established.

Evidence and limits
  • Reported on November 6, 2026.
  • Component: Windows desktop app, Codex view.
  • Exact app version and Windows build were not collected.
  • The recovery result was confirmed by the user; it has not been independently reproduced.
  • The trigger, recurrence rate, and internal cause are unknown.
  • No success or failure is claimed for keyboard shortcuts suggested before this workaround.
  • This report is based on the user's description and screenshot. The screenshot, conversation contents, and project details are not included in this public request.
Where did you find it?

Suggested destination: https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/reference/troubleshooting

The current troubleshooting page documents feedback and recovery patterns, but the page reviewed does not describe this specific window-reopening workaround.
