What issue are you seeing?

I'm sure this is unintentionally shortened to much but I figure it's possible there is this duplicate entry in /statusline <img width="925" height="201" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/da505e66-d396-4bcc-ae78-a47de78dbb7d" /> The second "context-remaining-..." entry has an ellipse, so I assume the entry name is truncated, but the description is identical to the "context-remaining" entry above it. As far as I can tell, they cause the same thing to appear in the status bar: <img width="194" height="50" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/db250280-28f4-4826-94b0-a8b7adc0f275" />

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Run codex
  2. Use /statusline
  3. Scroll down using the down arrow

What is the expected behavior?

Not really sure? Since they appear to do the same thing, I guess it's supposed to display something else? Maybe one is supposed to display "context window remaining" and the other is "context window used by chat"?

Additional information

Not sure entirely is this has something to do with the window size truncating the text, but the entries appeared the same when I used /statusline with Ghostty (and codex) in fullscreen.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by investigating and potentially removing the duplicate entry in the /statusline configuration.

Guidance

  • Verify if the duplicate entry "context-remaining-..." is indeed a truncated version of "context-remaining" by checking the configuration files or database associated with Codex CLI.
  • Check the documentation or source code of Codex CLI to understand how the /statusline command handles entry names and descriptions.
  • Test the behavior with different window sizes and terminal emulators to see if the issue is specific to Ghostty or Arch Linux.
  • Consider reporting the issue to the Codex CLI developers or community to get further assistance or clarification on the expected behavior.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not involve code changes.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the combination of Codex CLI version 0.121.0, Ghostty terminal emulator, and Arch Linux platform. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause and potential fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user can try to manually remove or modify the duplicate entry in the /statusline configuration to see if it resolves the issue, while waiting for further assistance or clarification from the Codex CLI developers.
