About the timeline for accepting community pull requests

[MomentDerek]

Since an update on October 2nd, all non-English input has had strange spaces when backspacing (which makes it very difficult for non-English users, and I’ve seen multiple issues #4870 #4717 #5036 ). I located and fixed this bug 4 days ago #4921 , and it’s been waiting to be merged.

I’d like to know what the timeline is for the Codex project team to accept community bugfix pull requests.

Non-English speaking colleagues have been having a hard time using it recently.

The bug just like that (the space is not a char which can be deleted) :

For anyone finding this older question: the specific fix in PR #4921 was merged on October 18, 2025 (UTC). The maintainer also confirmed testing the rendering fix for Chinese, Korean, and Japanese characters.

For the broader question about submitting a fix today, the policy has changed since this discussion was opened. The current contribution guide says:

We do not accept external code contributions or pull requests.

It directs community contributions toward bug reports, reproduction steps, root-cause analyses, and feature requests in the issue tracker, with implementation handled by the Codex team. So the historical merge above is resolved, but it should not be used as an expected review/merge timeline for a new external PR under the current policy.
