I’ve run into the same issue. In my case it happens when using Ghostty as the terminal — text sometimes disappears while scrolling. I haven’t seen this behavior in any other TUIs inside Ghostty, so it seems specific to Codex’s output rather than Ghostty itself.
Here's an example. Line num
11. ...of the numbered list vanished from the output text. In addition to Ghostty, it is also occurring in VS Code's Terminal.<img width="100" height="261" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/932d57f5-bbad-4a31-8ab3-f3c18ebeca17" />
