What version of the Codex App are you using?

26.519.81530 (build 3178)

What subscription do you have?

Unknown

What platform is your computer?

macOS 26.5 (25F71) Darwin 25.5.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

The token count tooltip in the Codex Desktop sidebar is positioned incorrectly in at least two responsive layouts:

  1. On a wide screen, the tooltip is rendered too far to the right and gets cut off by the window or viewport edge. The visible tooltip text is truncated, for example showing only the beginning of 69,922 / 950,000 tokens....
  2. With a tall sidebar layout, the tooltip is rendered with a large positional offset from the token usage control. Instead of appearing adjacent to the token usage pill at the bottom of the sidebar, it appears displaced below/away from the trigger.

The affected trigger is the bottom sidebar token usage/status control, near the 0 tokens/s and % used indicators.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open Codex Desktop on macOS.
  2. Open a conversation where the right-side sidebar/inspector is visible and the bottom token usage control is shown.
  3. Hover the token usage/control area at the bottom of the sidebar to show the token count tooltip.
  4. Resize or arrange the window into these layouts:
    • a wide window where the sidebar is near the right edge of the app/window
    • a tall sidebar layout

What is the expected behavior?

The token count tooltip should stay adjacent to the hovered token usage control and should be constrained to the visible app/window bounds. It should flip or shift as needed so the full token count remains visible and is not clipped.

Additional information

This appears to be a popover placement or viewport constraint issue. The report is based on two observed layouts: one where the tooltip is clipped on the right in a wide layout, and another where it appears far offset from the bottom token usage control in a tall sidebar layout.
