Root Cause

Impact: This is a UX and safety issue because users cannot reliably validate repository write operations before approving them.

Environment:

  • ChatGPT for Windows
  • GitHub connector enabled
  • Windows 11

Problem: When ChatGPT attempts to create or modify a file in a connected GitHub repository, a confirmation dialog appears before the operation is executed.

However, the confirmation modal is too small and truncates most of the important information. In many cases it is impossible to fully see:

  • repository name
  • full file path
  • file name
  • operation type
  • target branch/path details

This makes it difficult to safely verify what action will actually be performed before clicking “Confirm”.

Expected behavior: The confirmation dialog should:

  • properly resize to fit the content
  • allow scrolling or expanding
  • display the full repository name and file path
  • clearly show the operation being performed (create/update/delete)

Actual behavior: The modal window is constrained to a very small size and important details are hidden or truncated.

Impact: This is a UX and safety issue because users cannot reliably validate repository write operations before approving them.

Additional notes: The issue may be more noticeable on:

  • high DPI scaling
  • multi-monitor setups
  • Windows display scaling above 100%
