What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI 0.142.5

What feature would you like to see?

Many times codex will write a comment out about what it found. As I'm reading it part or all of the message disappears. This is more than annoying as many times what was written gives insight as to what is happening. I spent four+ weeks trying to solve a problem. I had codex redesign and rewrite the code five times. Then, I happen to see a "passing comment" about "the old code" before it disappeared. I asked codex about it and found out that codex redesigned and rewrote the code but decided to leave all of the old code in place causing the problems that I was having.
Just now, I'm reading the results and bam, their gone. I know others have asked for a feature to either fix this but I'm asking for a /refresh that hopefully will refresh the session with all of the codex outputted messages, not just a simple repainting of the screen as happens now when resizing the window or randomly because of another bug.

What's your terminal? I suspect this is a duplicate of #30745 -- that issue causes various rows to go missing in the output, which is frustrating when it's a critical note or a change of the code.

Yep. Probably is the same. But as it has been a problem for the past three months it doesn't appear that they care about us. They are probably going to force us all to use their App which is just another annoying layer of issues.

This looks like it may have been fixed today.
