picture describes better than words
could not find any config to disable or revert

Am I correct in assuming you're using a Windows terminal?
We're working on a fix.

This problem appears also on Linux/macOS etc. It appears on _any_ terminal emulator supporting background colors (so virtually all terminal emulators). The problem is codex setting a background color for text, which is generally not a good idea. The default should be to not override this (pre 0.105 behavior).
@joverarm, this issue was fixed long ago and closed. If you're seeing something like this with recent versions of the CLI, please open a new bug report and fill out all of the request information in the bug report template.
Edit: I just noticed you posted here. Thanks!
