Codex VS Code extension bug: stuck queues and re-executed prompts after restart
Kanpfx · ghdev · 2026-10-01
- GitHub issue #49968 on openai/codex: with VS Code extension 26.928.31416 (GPT Plus, Windows), the first prompt after a restart works, but from the second onward prompts get stuck indefinitely in "adding to queue".
- Worse, after restarting and reopening the conversation, a semantically-duplicated Response 1' appears — evidence the previously completed prompt was re-executed — while the stuck Prompt 2 also actually ran, implying hidden submissions plus duplicate execution.
- Repro: restart VS Code → send first prompt (works) → send second (stuck) → restart → reopen conversation. Author says it resembles #31336 but triggers far more consistently, pointing to a queue/transcript state-sync bug.
