The content is truncated from red block? If so, what is your terminal, and are you using a multiplexer ?
@Kangaxx-0 thanks for the reply, no I don't believe that's related to my issue. I use Ghostty, not necessarily a multiplexer. my issue is simply as the conversation continues as codex makes several changes the previous conversation gets distorted in the UI and it becomes hard to reread the conversation or know what changes codex did and when
@mcheviron, thanks for the bug report, but I don't think there's enough information for us to diagnose the issue. If this is still a problem you're seeing with the latest version of the codex CLI, could you provide more details and a screen shot to help us better understand what you're seeing?
