codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix File path tooltip flickers/disappears when hovering over changed file names during Codex work

What issue are you seeing?

While Codex is working on code changes, I can see the list of files that are being edited or created. Normally, when I hover over a file name, a tooltip appears showing the full/absolute path to that file.

Recently this tooltip behavior became broken. When I hover over a file name, the tooltip flashes for a very short time, approximately 100 ms, then disappears. After about a second it appears again briefly and disappears again. This keeps repeating, making the tooltip unusable.

This happens while Codex is editing/syncing files, and sometimes it also continues after Codex has already finished its work.

This used to work correctly before. Previously, I could hover over a changed file name and reliably see the full path. This is important because I need to understand exactly which file and directory in my project is being edited while Codex is working.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open a project in the Codex App.
2. Start a Codex task that edits or creates multiple files.
3. While Codex is working and the file change list is visible, hover over one of the changed file names.
4. Observe the tooltip that should show the file path.

Actual result: The tooltip appears only for a very short moment, then disappears. It keeps blinking/flashing instead of staying visible while the cursor is hovering over the file name.

This seems like it may be related to UI re-rendering while the file list is being updated during sync/editing.

What is the expected behavior?

When hovering over a changed file name, the tooltip should stay visible as long as the cursor remains over the file name.

The tooltip should consistently show the full/absolute file path, so the user can understand exactly which file in the project is being modified.

This behavior should work both while Codex is actively editing/syncing files and after the task has finished.

Additional information

This is not a one-time issue. It happens repeatedly during normal Codex usage.

The tooltip previously worked correctly, so this appears to be a regression in the Codex App UI.

The issue makes it difficult to monitor Codex work in real time, because I can no longer reliably see the full path of the files being modified.
