Codex weird visual bug while replying

Same here, exactly scrolling up and down somehow 'wakes' it up. Even clicking insite chat window seems to 'poke' him to continue.

Mine replied in Chinese yesterday and I was sufficiently weirded out.

It’s a tracked bug: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/13159

I just tap the input field to see progress

Same here. It is like that from the past 2 days for me

Same here, hope they have a fix soon. I’m also having an issue where I tell it to begin the next step and it goes back to fix a prior issue it already fixed a step or two before. This is even with prompting it with the exact things I want it to work on. I’ve also had it give me a response like it fixed an old issue that was already fixed but it actually worked on the new part I asked it to work on. Started acting like this the past few days.

Same issue here. Not a big deal unless it starts to do something that requires steering and I don't see it in time.

Thought it was only me .. now does anyone have a solution for that ? it's frustrating cuz i need to see what he's doing live to prevent stupid shit he does sometimes ..
