Description

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

ChatGPT Powered by Codex & OWL Version 26.820.60940 Released Aug 25, 2026

What subscription do you have?

Business premium

What platform is your computer?

macOS 15.7.9 (24G830)

What issue are you seeing?

Text input box covers up text output so text output cannot be read. No error message. This is a UI bug.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Feedback ID: 01a04943-d409-7fc0-ad4c-bd0ee5648ffa

What is the expected behavior?

I expect to be able to see the output ChatGPT produces. This is what I'm paying for.

Additional information

Used to behave like #37849 which was annoying but still usable. Is this a fix for that bug? If so, you overcorrected. Now the last line of output is unreadable.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the text overlap in the Codex App on macOS 15.7.9 using feedback ID 01a04943-d409-7fc0-ad4c-bd0ee5648ffa, then compare it with the behavior described in issue #37849. Done means the final line of generated output remains fully readable above the input box.
