What issue are you seeing?

While waiting for user confirmation to create or edit the file, I can not longet use Ctrl + t combination to go into the Transcript mode to read through longer diffs.

In combination with openai/codex#10726 (not being able to scroll up while waiting for the confirmation), it makes it impossible to read brows the changes before they are being made. Making it quite hard to use the CLI version.

This is a potential regression, as the Ctrl + t combination used to work up to v0.128.0. But stopped working in v0.129.0 and v0.130.0.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Instruct Codex CLI to make any changes (e.g.: "generate a lorem ipsum file several pages long").
  2. Codex CLI comes to the point where it show the content of a newly created file being lnger than the currently visible terminal window, and asking for confirmation ("Would you like to make the following edits? Yes, Yes, No")
  3. Try scrolling the terminal up to see the beginning of the file. The terminal imediately returns the scroll focus back to the "Yes, Yes, No" controls making it impossible to read the top part of the file
  4. Try pressing Ctrl + T to open the Transcript view. Codex CLI does not go into the Transcript mode (as it does during the "thinking" phase or while waiting for user's prompt). Again making it impossible to read the top part of the file.

What is the expected behavior?

Codex is expected to go into the Transcript mode (like it used to in v0.128.0) allowing the user to read through the whole diff before confirming or declining the edit.

Additional information

The issue is reproducible on multiple platforms and terminals, including vanilla Ubuntu 22.04 terminal.
