What issue are you seeing?

When Codex uses ask_user_question to present a set of questions, the UI indicates I can press Tab to add additional notes. However, this is inconsistent:

  • For some questions, pressing Tab successfully moves focus to the notes field and I can type notes normally.
  • For other questions, pressing Tab appears to move focus, but the notes field does not accept input. No matter what I type, nothing appears in the notes field (it seems non-editable or focus is lost).

There are no explicit error messages shown; input is simply ignored.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

as above

What is the expected behavior?
