[Bug] /copy command always returns "unavailable" error in WSL Ubuntu
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
OpenAI Codex (v0.117.0)
What subscription do you have?
Plus (Model: gpt-5.3 codex xhigh)
What platform is your computer?
Linux 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64 x86_64
What issue are you seeing?
Whenever I try to use the /copy command, it consistently fails and shows the following error message:
/copy is unavailable before the first Codex output or right after a rollback.
This happens every time, even when there is already a generated output from Codex and no rollback has been performed.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Launch Codex within a Windows 11 WSL (Ubuntu) environment.
Start a conversation and wait for Codex to generate its first response/code block.
Attempt to use the /copy command.
The error message "/copy is unavailable..." appears immediately, and the output is not copied to the clipboard.
What is the expected behavior?
The /copy command should successfully copy the most recent Codex output to the clipboard without throwing an error, as long as there is an existing output in the current session.
