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

Version 26.422.62136 (2180)

What subscription do you have?

ChatGPT Pro

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.4.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

While interacting with the model with the model generating output -- the codex app view randomly scrolls up to weird older points in the chat history.

I switched to codex a few days ago and this never happened until the most recent update. This is the kind of super annoying UI glitch which I've been getting super annoyed with while using claude code terminal the last few months -- and I was super happy not to experience this in codex -- tho my happiness is now short lived!

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019dd576-6594-70b1-9371-aab6dbf9de56

Just normal interaction with the model in a project chat

What is the expected behavior?

That while chatting with the model the scroll position of the view behaviors in a non-insane manner

Additional information

This bug should be called 'ghost of claude code' because this exact behavior has also been happening in claude code (I understand different product) but it is INSANE to suddenly have this same bugginess pop up in CODEX after switching a few days ago
