TL;DR

The "back to app" button being grayed out may be due to a specific state or condition in the Codex App that needs to be addressed to enable the button.

Guidance

  • Verify if there are any unsaved changes or pending operations in the settings that could be preventing the "back to app" button from being clickable.
  • Check if there are any error messages or warnings in the settings page that might indicate why the button is disabled.
  • Try closing and reopening the settings page or restarting the Codex App to see if the issue persists.
  • If the issue is reproducible, consider reporting it with more details about the steps leading up to the grayed-out button, as the provided steps might not capture the full context.

Notes

The provided information does not specify the expected behavior when clicking the "back to app" button or any additional context about the state of the app when the issue occurs, which could be crucial for diagnosing the problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the root cause is not clearly identified and without an explicit fix available, trying the suggested steps to mitigate or understand the condition better is the safest approach.
