What issue are you seeing?
Codex Desktop freezes when the input box contains multiple LaTeX display-math blocks using $begin:math:display$\.\.\.$end:math:display$.
This does not happen for all long prompts. I can paste other long text normally. The freeze appears to be specifically triggered when several $begin:math:display$\.\.\.$end:math:display$ display-math delimiters are present in the user input. For example, pasting multiple repeated blocks like:
[
a=b
]
eventually makes the Codex Desktop input box / UI unresponsive.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
-
Open Codex Desktop.
-
Start a new chat.
-
Pasting multiple repeated following text into the input box:
[
a=b
]
[
a=b
]
[
a=b
]
[
a=b
]
[
a=b
]
-
The input box / app becomes unresponsive.
-
Command+Q no longer works; I have to kill the app process.
What is the expected behavior?
Expected behavior
The input box should remain responsive and treat the content as plain user input.
Actual behavior
The app freezes / becomes unresponsive.
