What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Run a Codex task in chat that makes Codex execute multiple commands in a row, then wait until the task is finished.
2. Expand "Worked for Xm Ys".
3. Try to expand command groups such as "Ran 1 command" or "Ran 1 command, called 7 tools".
4. Notice that expanding them is almost impossible: most clicks do nothing, and then it suddenly works for no obvious reason.

What is the expected behavior?

Normal, predictable expand behavior when clicking "Ran 1 command" or "Ran 1 command, called 7 tools", so the list of executed commands or used tools is shown consistently.

Additional information

This UI regression makes it impossible to work with Codex reliably in the VS Code extension, because we can no longer inspect what Codex actually did.

Super annoying. At least the core functionalities work, that is important.

Edit: this also affects Codex app.
