What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.406.3494.0

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200 x64

What issue are you seeing?

When I send a follow-up message in Codex App that includes both:

  • an attached image
  • typed text

then after sending, the conversation UI only shows the text content.

It does not show any visible confirmation that the message also included an image, such as:

  • 1 image
  • an attachment chip
  • a thumbnail
  • or any other attachment indicator

This creates uncertainty about whether the image was actually sent successfully together with the text.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open an existing conversation in Codex App
  2. Send a follow-up message
  3. Attach an image
  4. Also type text in the same message
  5. Send the message
  6. Observe the rendered sent message in the conversation UI

What is the expected behavior?

After sending, the message should clearly show that it included both text and an image.

The user should be able to confirm from the conversation UI that the image attachment was part of the sent message.

Additional information

This report is about post-send UI feedback / visibility. The issue is that the sent-message UI appears to hide the fact that an image was attached, which makes users doubt whether the image was included successfully.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by verifying the message contents through an alternative method, such as checking the recipient's view of the conversation or the sent message details.

Guidance

  • Review the conversation UI rendering logic to ensure it correctly handles messages with both text and image attachments.
  • Verify that the image attachment is indeed being sent successfully by checking the recipient's view of the conversation or the message details.
  • Consider adding a temporary workaround, such as displaying a generic "attachment sent" indicator for messages with attachments, to alleviate user uncertainty.
  • Investigate if there are any existing UI settings or preferences that could be affecting the display of attachment indicators.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient technical details to create a specific example.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the post-send UI feedback and visibility of image attachments in the Codex App. The provided information does not allow for a definitive fix, but rather points towards a mitigation strategy.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Display a generic "attachment sent" indicator for messages with attachments to provide users with confirmation that their attachments were sent successfully. This approach addresses the user's uncertainty about whether the image was included in the sent message.
