Codex Monitor goes blank from time to time when switching focus to/from IntelliJ on X11

Codex Monitor
Version 0.7.43

When I’m switching between Codex Monitor and IntelliJ from time to time (once every few minutes), I get a blank screen in Codex Monitor. Everything disappears and I’m unable to do any work.

Clicking Codex Monitor → About shows a window with content, but the main window is always blank, and I have to close the app and reopen it.

uname -a

It’s X11 (not Wayland).

Clicking Codex Monitor, settings don't show anything.
Usually it happens when Codex Monitor is idle for > 1 min

Also the right click doesn't show anything, so I'm enable to do the page reload, I have to close the monitor and open it again.

@codex any idea?

Summary

• Added a Linux startup workaround that sets WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 when unset to reduce sporadic blank WebKitGTK renders on X11. src-tauri/src/lib.rsL33-L42

Testing

• ⚠️ Not run (env-only change).
