Codex desktop update breaks clickable Markdown file links, frustrating users
rp_tiago · reddit · 2026-11-10
A user reports that a recent Codex desktop update changed behavior: after creating or editing .md files, the agent no longer shows the clickable file widget, only a plain-text path. Worse, the agent sometimes creates a separate local/output copy to make a link, so edits and "open containing folder" point to the wrong file instead of the authoritative one in the project. The agent itself suggests a new app-level file-linking rule prevents restoring old behavior. No fix is offered yet.
