Research direction
Start by tracing Settings navigation and Escape key handling in the macOS desktop app; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Compare the Escape behavior with the working back button and check nearby navigation tests. Done when Escape returns to the previous chat and a regression test covers that behavior.

Description
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
26.1023.51421
What subscription do you have?
Not provided
What platform is your computer?
macOS
What issue are you seeing?
After a recent desktop app update, pressing Escape on the Settings page no longer returns to the previous chat. In earlier versions, Escape worked for this and was part of my regular workflow. Clicking the back button still works.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open the Codex desktop app on macOS and open a chat.
- Open Settings.
- Press Escape.
- Observe that Settings remains open.
- Click the back button and observe that navigation back works.
What is the expected behavior?
Pressing Escape should return from Settings to the previous chat, as it did in the older version.
