What issue are you seeing?

I just spent ~5 minutes working on a VERY PRECISE prompt and then pressed ↑ which caused ALL of my prompt to dissappear and get replaced with a previous prompt. When I pressed ↓, I could NOT recover the prompt I had been building.

INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING!

What steps can reproduce the bug?

I was building my prompt, then decided I needed a new file as a scratch pad. I pressed CMD+N to create a new file, but the focus was in the codex chat, so it created a new chat. When I went back to the chat I had been working in, I pressed up for some reason, and it started cycling through previous chats, and wiped out my lengthy draft prompt.

What is the expected behavior?

First, I would have expected pressing up when there is content in the prompt to NOT do anything!

But having moved to a previous prompt, I would at least expect pressing down to eventually stop at my draft prompt, but no, it just cycles through past prompts, and it appears that my draft is gone.

I also HATE the UX that pressing down seems to cycle you through god-knows what. I would prefer pressing down to bring you to an empty prompt. I.e. up/down needs to be linear with bookends, not cyclic! Once I was pressing up/down, I completely lost where in my prompt history I was!
