What issue are you seeing?
When resuming a Codex session inside Zellij, the normal rich conversation view can stop before the actual end of the conversation. The missing tail is still visible in the Ctrl+T transcript view.
In the affected session, long URL-only history lines appear shortly before the missing tail. Raw output mode / raw reflow makes the tail visible again, which suggests the issue is in rich history replay rather than the stored transcript.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Start Zellij.
- Run Codex inside a Zellij pane.
- Resume session containing long URL-only web/search result lines.
- Open the normal conversation view.
- Compare the visible end of the conversation with Ctrl+T transcript.
Observed: Ctrl+T transcript shows the actual tail, but the normal rich conversation view does not.
What is the expected behavior?
The normal rich conversation view should show the same final conversation tail as the Ctrl+T transcript view when resuming inside Zellij.
Additional information
Related broader Zellij scrollback/history issues: #2558, #16578, #22214, #23651.
This appears narrower than the previous general Zellij scrollback issues: rich mode keeps long URL-only lines unwrapped for clickable URL detection, but Zellij can mishandle the resulting soft-wrapped continuation rows during history insertion. Routing those batches through the existing Zellij raw insertion path fixes the local repro.
I confirmed that the issue was resolved in this commit: https://github.com/jeiea/codex/tree/fix/zellij-rich-url-raw-insert
