Codex CLI Scroll issue

[codengine]

What version of Codex CLI is running?

0.97.0

What subscription do you have?

Pro

Which model were you using?

gpt-5.2

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0 x64

What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

WSL

What issue are you seeing?

I used the planner mode with the new Codex CLI version and after it presented its plan (which was multiple pages long), I was not able to scroll up through the plan -even though it was already at the stage where it presented the choices to implement the plan (where scrolling up usually works).

I did not have this issue in 0.96.0 and this clearly seems to be a regression. After rolling back to 0.96.0, the issue is gone.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Run the planner mode, let it plan something and ask for permission to implement it, try to scroll up -> It will always scroll down to

What is the expected behavior?

Scrolling is possible while the CLI is idle.

Additional information

I use WSL with Ubuntu.

Can confirm on WSL last version 0.97 or 0.96 introduced that bug.

I’m the reporter of #10774. This looks like the same regression since 0.97.0 (still
reproducible on 0.98.0).
In addition to “cannot scroll up” on the plan/approval screen, I also see that with long
streamed outputs the top/earlier part of the assistant message appears to disappear (so
it becomes impossible to scroll back/copy the full response).

Env: WSL2 Ubuntu 24.04.3 on Windows 10.0.26200.7705 (npm -g @openai/codex).

Still present on 0.98 - hopefully fixed next release.

Yes, I can confirm that it's still present in 0.98.

same issue on xubuntu 22.04 terminal. Can scroll by mid button, but the terminal viewport returns to the bottom, so can't actually read previous output or copy it

I just got hit by this bug a few days back. I am a CLI user with decent font sizes, which makes codex totally unusable without scrolling. Please fix this.

Env: Oracle Linux, gnome-terminal over tiger-vnc.

Thank you.

I can reproduce this with my actual setup too.

Environment

• Codex CLI: 0.98.0 (also saw it on 0.97.0)
• OS: Windows 10
• Shell/Terminal: PowerShell

Behavior

• In planner mode, after Codex prints a long plan and shows the approval choices, scrolling up does not stay up.
• The viewport snaps back to the bottom.
• With long streamed responses, earlier output becomes inaccessible in scrollback.
