Cannot expand long commands for approval

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Feb 11, 2026 by benglewis Closed Aug 5, 2026

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Version 260210.1703 (602)

What subscription do you have?

Business

What issue are you seeing?

When Codex presents you with a prompt to approve a long command, it just adds an ellipsis (...) at some point and stops showing the rest of the command and clicking this or anywhere else does nothing.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Run any prompt which requires Codex to get your approval to run a command

What is the expected behavior?

There should be some way to expand the command to see the full command before approval

It looks like this has been resolved, right @etraut-openai ? I see an expand button now

I'm also having this issue. Sometimes I see an expand button, sometimes I see "...".
