This looks like a rendering issue. Are you using the standard MacOS terminal, or are you using a different terminal emulator?

@etraut-openai I use wezterm. Overlapping character seems like wezterm's issue. I'm curious why this model response with this dash quite a lot, but looks like it is not codex's issue

Yeah, the em dash is model behavior. Yes, this sounds like a bug in wezterm. I'm going to close this issue.
