Summary

When I switch away from a terminal tab and come back, the input bar appears twice. Though only the last input bar is editable
Additionally, the terminal view is auto-scrolled to the bottom, leaving a large blank space.

Environment

• Mac
• Codex
• Repro frequency: every time

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a terminal tab.
2. Run any command so output exists.
3. Switch to another tab.
4. Switch back to the original terminal tab.

Actual Behavior

• Two input bars are rendered. I actually think it's submitting the empty input to the llm on switching
• Editing is only possible in the last input bar.
• Additionally, the terminal view is auto-scrolled to the bottom, leaving a large blank space.
• Even though only the last input bar is editable, the duplicate input makes the UI appear as if a prompt has already been submitted, which is misleading and confusing.

Expected Behavior

• Only one input bar should be rendered.
• Focus should remain on that single input bar.
• The UI should not imply an extra submitted prompt.
• The terminal should remember the last scrolled position. If I'm reading the output at the top and when I switch and return back it should stay on the same scroll position

Impact

• Creates ambiguity about terminal state.
• Confuses users during prompt entry and review.
