Describe the bug
After upgrading my Mac to macOS 27, pasting images into Codex CLI sessions in Warp stopped working. With an image on the clipboard, pressing Ctrl+V inside a running Codex session does nothing: no image placeholder and no error. It was working before, and it still works in Claude Code sessions in Warp.
To reproduce
Environment: macOS 27.0 (26A428), Warp 0.2026.09.09.08.26.02, Codex CLI 0.154.0 (installed with pnpm add -g @openai/codex), Claude Code 2.1.273.
- Copy an image to the clipboard (for example Ctrl+Shift+Cmd+4, or right-click an image in Chrome → Copy Image).
- In a Warp tab, start Codex:
codex - Click into the Codex input and press Ctrl+V.
- Actual: nothing happens. No
[Image #1]placeholder, no error. - Expected: the image is attached, as it was before and as it still is in Claude Code.
- For comparison, repeat steps 1–3 with
claude: the image attaches correctly.
To see what Warp sends to the program, run this in a Warp tab, press Ctrl+V with an image on the clipboard, then press q:
node -e 'const w=s=>process.stdout.write(s);w("\x1b[?2004h\x1b[>7u");process.stdin.setRawMode(true);process.stdin.on("data",b=>{w([...b].map(x=>x.toString(16).padStart(2,"0")).join(" ")+"\r\n");if(b.length===1&&b[0]===113){w("\x1b[<u\x1b[?2004l");process.exit()}})'
It prints 1b 5b 32 30 30 7e 1b 5b 32 30 31 7e (an empty bracketed paste) instead of 16 (Ctrl+V). For a generic program that may be intended, but Codex gets the same treatment, so its image paste never fires.
If the form has more fields:
- Expected behavior: With image data on the clipboard, Ctrl+V in a Codex session should reach Codex, the same way it does for Claude Code, so Codex can attach the image.
- Workaround: codex -i image.png attaches an image without using the clipboard, but only for the first message.
