Summary

In the request_user_input overlay, if an option label (left column) is very long, the shared selection-row renderer computes the description start column so far to the right that only 1 terminal cell remains for the description. With wrapping enabled, that forces the description to wrap one character per line, producing the vertical right-edge text seen in the screenshot.

Where This Happens (commit b3de6c7f2b5fd5f8e5a2cf98e06f1615d858329b)

request_user_input builds GenericDisplayRow where the option label is name and the option description is description:

• https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/b3de6c7f2b5fd5f8e5a2cf98e06f1615d858329b/codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/request_user_input/mod.rs#L283-L286

The overlay renders option rows through the shared selection renderer (render_rows):

• https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/b3de6c7f2b5fd5f8e5a2cf98e06f1615d858329b/codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/request_user_input/render.rs#L307
• https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/b3de6c7f2b5fd5f8e5a2cf98e06f1615d858329b/codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/request_user_input/render.rs#L319

Shared selection-row renderer computes desc_col as min(max_name_width + 2, content_width - 1), which can leave only 1 cell for description:

• https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/b3de6c7f2b5fd5f8e5a2cf98e06f1615d858329b/codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/selection_popup_common.rs#L200-L249
• https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/b3de6c7f2b5fd5f8e5a2cf98e06f1615d858329b/codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/selection_popup_common.rs#L246

When a description exists, wrapping indents continuation lines to desc_col:

• https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/b3de6c7f2b5fd5f8e5a2cf98e06f1615d858329b/codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/selection_popup_common.rs#L251-L262
• https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/b3de6c7f2b5fd5f8e5a2cf98e06f1615d858329b/codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/selection_popup_common.rs#L419-L426

word_wrap_line clamps the available width after indent to at least 1 cell:

• https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/b3de6c7f2b5fd5f8e5a2cf98e06f1615d858329b/codex-rs/tui/src/wrapping.rs#L206-L215

Default wrapping options enable break_words: true, so a 1-cell width becomes 1-char-per-line output:

• https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/b3de6c7f2b5fd5f8e5a2cf98e06f1615d858329b/codex-rs/tui/src/wrapping.rs#L84-L96

Repro (Minimal Condition)

Let W = content_width passed to compute_desc_col.

If the widest visible row.name has display width >= W - 3, then:

• desc_col becomes W - 1.
• Remaining description width becomes W - desc_col = 1.
• Description wraps as 1 character per line at the far right edge.

This is easy to hit with long option labels (especially when the menu surface inset reduces available width).

Expected

The description area should keep a reasonable minimum width (or fall back to a single-column layout, render description on the next line, or truncate), but not collapse to 1 terminal cell.

Actual

Description wraps vertically (one character per line), making the UI unreadable.

Notes On Tests

Existing request_user_input snapshots use relatively short labels and do not cover this edge case.
