What variant of Codex are you using?
Windows App
What feature would you like to see?
It would be better if the text input box can automatically enlarge when users writing a very long prompt especially when there are extra space on the screen.

I would like to bring that up again. Not sure if auto-resize is a good suggestion, but I really need manual resizing.
Right now, the space is fix and limited and I have to copy the text into another editor to comfortably edit and see it there, then paste it back on codex app's input window.
