What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.25.0

Which model were you using?

gpt-5

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.5.0 arm64 arm

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. From the normal input view, press Ctrl+T to open the transcript overlay.
  2. Press Esc to enter the Edit/resume backtrack preview (highlight appears over the latest user message).
  3. Press q.

What is the expected behavior?

q while in the backtrack preview should exit the preview and return to the transcript overlay (i.e., keep the transcript overlay open), since the preview was entered from the transcript view.

What do you see instead?

The overlay closes entirely and focus returns to the normal input view. This feels like losing one level of context; expected to go back to transcript view instead.
