Codex' responses in CLI TUI are cut off

[budivoogt]

The first sentence or paragraph in a conversation is often being cut off. Also spacing between line breaks can be weird. This is happening since the latest version of the CLI codex-cli 0.98.0.

Often times I have to ask the model to repeat its response.

Also noticing this - windows wsl

Thanks for the bug report. You mentioned this is happening since 0.98.0. Can you confirm that if you downgrade to 0.97.0, the problem goes away? That will verify that it's a regression in the CLI (as opposed to a change in your configuration or something else on your system). If you can confirm that it's something that changed between 0.97 and 0.98, that would help us localize the problem. Thanks!

Me too! Started in 0.98.0, it's so bad that I've had to start asking it to write it's replies to a file.

Note: No idea is this is related - but it's like this happens in the middle of the response too. The visible part seems to sometimes be missing bits, e.g. it's giving me a list of things and I'll see 1) and 3) with some disjointed text sometimes in the middle.

Having it too. I reside to tell it to write to file so I can read it.... On windows powershell. Version 0.98, havent used older versions.

Please run /feedback so we can look at traces on this.

To diagnose this quickly for us, ask codex to check the output against your session file (~/.codex/sessions) against the lines where it truncated to see if the model output contains the missing word.

Ask something like: What was the full sentence that has ... in it

This will help narrow this down to a server / model problem vs a harness problem. I suspect the latter, but want to rule out the former.

I'm getting the same issue and ran a quick test to repro it (vscode terminal, ssh'd into Linux 6.5.0-35-generic x86_64 x86_64). Attached are screenshots, you can see the in screenshots that lines 002 and 152 are not visible. Fwiw, I tried downgrading to 0.97 and also see multiple lines getting cut off with a similar test.

Windows WSL2.
Encountered in plan mode.
The terminal window was "not-maximized" and the text at the end of sentence was cut off when it was writing and reached the end of the terminal window (pic1).
I then maximized the window, exited codex and re-entered and resumed the chat. It showed the complete sentence (pic2).
Truncation happened for any line beyond the "limit"
