Codex CLI issue where the text entry field at the bottom keeps filling up with random commands?

Using VSCode and running Codex CLI in a terminal within VSCode. Not sure whats going on but after each response is finished in Codex, the text bar at the bottom gets filled with a random string of text. Like, just then it was "/opt/<some folders>". Earlier it filled with what looked like some python error string.

But if i start typing or hit escape, it goes away. Any idea what that is??
