What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open the Codex desktop app.
- Open the integrated terminal.
- Copy a short piece of text, for example
hello. - In the Codex terminal, press
Ctrl+Shift+V.
Expected
Paste once.

Shift+Insert shows the same behavior.
Switching the integrated shell from Command Prompt to PowerShell did not fix it.
Additional information
- This appears to be specific to the Codex desktop terminal.
- I did not find a user keybinding override or system-wide remapper causing it.
- Right-click paste / Edit > Paste may be worth checking as a workaround path.
