When opening the Codex plugins/skills screen, a large black overlay appears in the center/left side of the interface. This overlay blocks the content and makes the page unusable.

Root Cause

Impact

I cannot use or configure plugins/skills because the interface is blocked.

Bug: Black overlay blocks Codex Plugins/Skills screen

Description

When opening the Codex plugins/skills screen, a large black overlay appears in the center/left side of the interface. This overlay blocks the content and makes the page unusable.

What happens

  • The search bar is visible.
  • Part of the plugin/skills list is visible on the right side.
  • A large black rectangle covers the main content area.
  • The overlay cannot be closed or removed.
  • The issue happens specifically on the Plugins/Skills screen.

Expected behavior

The plugins/skills screen should load normally without a black overlay blocking the interface.

Screenshots

Attached screenshots show the issue clearly.

Environment

  • Device: Mac
  • App: Codex desktop app
  • Theme: Dark mode
  • Issue persists after restarting the laptop and reinstalling the app.

Impact

I cannot use or configure plugins/skills because the interface is blocked.
