Description
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
26.911.7940.0
What subscription do you have?
ChatGPT Pro
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
When I open the integrated terminal at the bottom of the Codex App on Windows, the PowerShell prompt is rendered on top of the "Source directories" text.
The PowerShell prompt and the source-directory selector overlap, making part of the terminal output difficult to read. This appears to be a terminal rendering or cursor-positioning issue.
Shell: PowerShell 7.6.6
Windows display scaling: 125%
Please see the attached screenshot.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open a project in the Codex App on Windows.
- Open the integrated terminal at the bottom of the app.
- Wait for the "Source directories" selector and PowerShell prompt to appear.
- The PowerShell prompt overlaps part of the source-directory selector.
What is the expected behavior?
The PowerShell prompt and the "Source directories" selector should be rendered on separate lines without overlapping.
Additional information
The issue occurs in the Codex App integrated terminal with PowerShell 7.6.6. A screenshot demonstrating the rendering problem is attached.

Start by reproducing the issue in the Codex App's integrated terminal on Windows with PowerShell 7.6.6 and 125% display scaling. Inspect the terminal rendering or cursor-positioning behavior around the “Source directories” selector; done means the PowerShell prompt and selector render on separate lines without overlap.
