New ChatGPT Desktop App Update Flops
unable0 · reddit · 2026-07-19
This post complains about the botched new ChatGPT desktop update: two versions appear simultaneously on Mac, both named "Classic," leaving users unable to tell which is the new app.
More seriously, the commonly used Option+Space shortcut is either broken or unstable, the old background process ChatGPTHelper hijacks the hotkey, and chat history fails to sync between the old and new apps. The author reports repeatedly troubleshooting, restarting, and killing processes in the terminal, but the issue remains unresolved.
