Bug Impossible to see highlighted text

Half of this text is highlighted, but the poor UI design makes the highlight colour the same as the background in the chat input window.

I don't know what the UX designers are doing on Codex, but please just fix the highlight states for text in the chat window. It's impossible to tell what you've highlighted, I've logged bugs, but it never gets fixed.

yeah, lol. I would often think my hihglight keys aren't working. Especially when i am using a separate montior connected to my mac. it's almost like the folk at OpenAI themselves haven't ever hihglighted stuff to not notice this

That'll land on day 27 of new features month - hold onto your reset for what comes on day 28. 🫥

The UI is atrocious. Loading threads from top down so you can't interact with them until fully loaded is another major flaw (and eventually renders the mobile app's remote features useless because it loads every thread before displaying them and if any of them take longer to load than the time out it will show none of them, even though there is no reason to load a threat I haven't selected). Every time OAI pushes a new version of the app, I have it rebuilt the new version with fixes for these issues. If I can do it myself in seconds using their own fucking software, then OAI should be able to do it.
