Description
Description
A fixed fade/gradient at the top of the Codex desktop composer overlaps the first line of typed text, making the upper part of characters look blurred or partially transparent.
Steps to reproduce
- Open any task in the Codex Windows desktop app.
- Type a short single line in the composer.
- Observe the top of the text.
This occurs even when no task is running, the input is short, and the composer does not need to scroll.
Expected behavior
Typed text should remain fully opaque and readable. A scroll-edge fade, if needed, should only appear while content is actually scrollable and should not overlap the first visible line.
Actual behavior
The top of the first line is permanently faded/blurred.
Environment
- Codex desktop app
- Windows
- App version: unknown
Impact
Reduced readability and eye strain during normal typing.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the Codex Windows desktop app with a short, non-scrollable composer input, then trace the composer’s top fade or scroll-edge behavior. Done means the first visible line remains fully opaque and the fade is absent when content is not scrollable or does not overlap the text.
