Multiple lines and text blocks overlap each other, making the response partially or completely unreadable. The problem appears directly inside the Codex interface after the response is generated.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open the Codex desktop application.
- Start a new session or open an existing session.
- Select GPT-5.6 Terra.
- Submit a prompt that generates a multi-line response.
- Wait for the response to finish rendering.
- Observe that lines and text blocks overlap each other.
The problem is reproducible with different prompts.
What is the expected behavior?
The generated response should be displayed normally, with every line and text block positioned separately and fully readable.
No text should overlap, merge, or cover other parts of the response.
