Description

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

26.820.60940

What subscription do you have?

PRO

What platform is your computer?

Linux 7.0.13-200.fc44.x86_64 x86_64 unknown

What issue are you seeing?

Image As seen in image. The panel that rises displaying goals and other information from the bottom input, covers text output from the agent in such a manner that scrolling will not raise it above the obfuscating panel displaying goals. This results in an inability to read what the agent has said if there is no further output without workarounds (copy and waste output elsewhere to read)

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Repeatable by,
having goals displayed in panel
having output fill the screen

What is the expected behavior?

footer spacing that keeps the output text above the panels (dynamically) that are attached to the top of the input object.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the Codex terminal app with the goals panel open and agent output filling the screen, then inspect the input-area and output-layout entry points. Done means the latest agent output remains readable above the dynamically sized panels, including when no further output is produced.
