option - backspace (to delete the previous word) actually deletes all text in the prompt box

Very frustrating when you're typing a prompt and you do option-backspace (on a mac at least) which works in claude code / codebuff etc, but in codex it deletes everything in the prompt box and you can't even CMD-Z to undo the deletion of everything.

I think this was marked as resolved, but as per the latest build, it hasn't been resolved closed issue

Who can re-open that issue? Any good workaround?

Thanks for the feedback! Please try again on the latest version of Codex CLI. If the issue persists, we would appreciate a report on the codex-rs/ implementation.
