codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix VSCode Codex UI files changed spam making chat unreadable [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can likely be mitigated by avoiding rapid scrolling and tab switching while the conversation is generating chat messages.

Guidance

• To verify the issue, try reproducing the steps described: scroll up and down while the conversation is generating chat messages and switch tabs to see if the files changed summary duplicates.
• If the issue persists, try closing and reopening the conversation or restarting VS Code to see if the duplicates clear.
• Be cautious when scrolling and switching tabs while the conversation is active, as this seems to trigger the duplication.
• Consider reporting this behavior as a bug to the IDE extension developers, as it may be a timing or rendering issue.
