Installation Method

Environment

Confirmation:

[ x] I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
[ x] I am on the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
[x ] I have provided the exact steps to reproduce the bug in the "Steps to Reproduce" section below.

Expected Behavior:

I expect chat conversations to not disappear from my screen when I edit a prior/earlier model response in the same chat.

Actual Behavior:

When you edit a response and "save a copy", later existing responses disappear from chat.

Description

Bug Summary:

When you edit a response and "save a copy", later existing responses disappear from chat.

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a new chat with a model and ask it something.
Then ask a new question in the same chat.

You might have something like this image

Now, go and pencil-edit the first model response. In my case, I changed the response to describe the cat as orange.
I clicked "Save a copy", so that I can change the color of the cat but keep the rest of the text and then generate another image for that copy.

I clicked "Save a Copy" and now my last chat conversation with the dog is gone.

They're eating the pets

I feel like I either learned something new here, confused myself entirely, or found a bug. You decide.

I found the dog picture by changing my initial conversation back to the "1/2"

So, perhaps this is not a bug, but intended.

However, in my opinion, this is kind of weird and now you can easily get lost in 1 conversation that actually has multiple variants. I'll let the community decide because maybe there is some wider purpose here.
