What version of Codex is running?

Latest as of writing

Which model were you using?

Honestly, it doesn’t matter. It has nothing to do with LLM’s

What platform is your computer?

Windows

What steps can reproduce the bug?

So, I discovered this first when I tried to simply type:
{

And I was unable to type a simple curly brace.
At first I thought something was wrong with my keyboard and it was not

Then I tried to copy paste a http message:

{“detail”:”Unauthorized header”} funnily enough when copy pasting that into the running codex terminal it instead looked like this:

“detail”:”Unauthorized header”

The terminal just decided to remove the curly braces

What is the expected behavior?

I expect to be able to write some curly braces

What do you see instead?

Not curly braces, that’s for sure

Additional information

I want my curly braces man

This should now be fixed in 0.59.0.
