Bug: Review comment input resets while chat is processing

Description

When the Codex app is processing a chat message, inline comment inputs in the Review tab keep resetting. This causes any text I type into a diff comment box to disappear before I can submit it.

This is frustrating because I often review the diff while waiting for the chat response, but I lose my in-progress comments and have to retype them.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Steps to reproduce

  • Open a Codex chat with a diff available for review.
  • Send a message in the chat.
  • While the chat is still processing/responding, open the Review tab.
  • Start adding an inline comment to a diff.
  • Continue typing while the chat is processing.

What is the expected behavior?

Expected behavior

The inline diff comment input should retain the text I’ve typed, even while the chat is processing in the background.

Actual behavior

The comment input resets while the chat is processing, clearing the text I’ve typed. This makes it difficult or impossible to leave comments during that time.
