Research direction

Start at the local dashboard URL http://localhost:10100/#codex-set and inspect the native main-login management panel's confirmation state with German text, dark theme, and 110% zoom. Reproduce the narrow wrapping and overflow, then trace the existing switch workflow. Done means readable responsive content and contained actions, clear close-confirm-reopen guidance, actionable blocked-state retry behavior, and refreshed active-profile status after success.

Summary

In v2.75.0, the native Codex main-login switch confirmation has a broken layout. The confirmation is difficult to read and use, and the account-switching workflow needs clearer guidance through closing Codex, confirming the switch, and reopening it.

Reproduction
  1. Open the local dashboard at http://localhost:10100/#codex-set.
  2. Use German language and the dark theme. Chrome browser zoom is 110%.
  3. Under Codex settings → Multi-Auth, open the native main-login management panel.
  4. With two saved native profiles, click the action to switch to the inactive profile.
  5. Inspect the confirmation panel before checking the acknowledgement or confirming.

Observed in a supplied screenshot on a large desktop window. Reproduction at other zoom levels/languages has not been tested.

Actual behavior
  • The heading “Native Anmeldung zu [profile] wechseln” wraps into an extremely narrow column, often one character per line.
  • The effective CODEX_HOME path also wraps almost one character per line.
  • The explanatory text and acknowledgement occupy cramped columns alongside the heading/path rather than a readable stacked layout.
  • The confirm button extends beyond the right edge of the highlighted confirmation panel.
  • The result is an excessively tall confirmation panel even though the surrounding page has ample horizontal space.

The screenshot shows the unchecked acknowledgement and the open confirmation panel. This report does not establish a backend credential-switch failure.

Expected behavior
  • Show the target profile, explanation, effective home, acknowledgement, and actions in a readable responsive layout.
  • Keep both action buttons within the panel; wrap or stack them when needed.
  • Support German text, long home paths, and 110% browser zoom without character-by-character wrapping.
  • Keep the native-login action visually distinct from selecting a pool account for the next request.
Account-switching usability

The current confirmation tells the user to close native Codex first and says a restart may be needed. Please make the existing safety requirement a clear sequence: close Codex → confirm the native profile switch in the dashboard → show the result and whether to reopen/restart Codex.

If a running client prevents switching, show an actionable blocked state and let the user retry after closing it. After success, refresh the native active-profile/main-login display so the user can verify the switch. Preserve the process checks and credential protections.

Version

ocx --version: opencodex 2.75.0 (also visible in the dashboard).

Operating system

macOS 26.6.2; Google Chrome; German dashboard; dark theme; browser zoom 110%.

Provider and model

OpenAI native Codex login profiles. No model-specific request is involved.

Logs or error output

No backend error was observed or collected. The evidence is the rendered confirmation UI.

Screenshots and supporting files

The reporter supplied a screenshot showing the layout defects described above. The original contains personal account labels, a local home path, and unrelated browser tabs, so it is omitted from this public report.

Additional context

Related completed native-profile dashboard work: #3417. This report concerns the shipped confirmation layout and the usability of that workflow.

Checks
  • I searched existing issues and the related native-profile workflow report.
  • I removed secrets, tokens, account details, request credentials, and personal data.
