TL;DR

The issue can likely be mitigated by adjusting the hover behavior or overlay display settings in the Codex App.

Guidance

  • Verify if the "Branch-Details" overlay is a new feature or a bug by checking the Codex App's release notes for Version 26.429.30905.
  • Try clicking on the scroll bar quickly before the overlay appears to see if it registers the click.
  • Check if there are any settings in the Codex App to disable or adjust the hover-over behavior for the "Branch-Details" overlay.
  • If the issue persists, consider reporting it as a bug to the Codex App developers with the provided reproduction steps.

Notes

The provided information does not specify if this behavior is intended or a bug, so further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the hover behavior or overlay display settings in the Codex App, as it may provide a temporary solution until the issue is officially addressed.
