Codex App will only load in background

On Mac mini M4 running OS Tahoe 26.3. Fresh installation, I am able to sign into Codex but after that occurs the issues begin. Tried restarting app, computer, and reinstalling. It will load in the background if I click into another application window, but will immediately display the loading logo if I click into the Codex application. I tried various ChatGPT recommend things (lol) like running with GPU disabled but nothing has worked so far. Any similar instances or advice would be good to know.
