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?
