I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.
Installation Method
Pip Install
Open WebUI Version
v0.8.10
Ollama Version (if applicable)
No response
Operating System
Windows 11
Browser (if applicable)
Chrome latest / safari latest
Confirmation
I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
Include any files or environmental changes,
Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.
Expected Behavior
When opening a markdown file on open terminal panel, there should be an edit button that enables users to edit the file. Like the other normal pure text file. But when I’m running my open webui server through pip install on my windows 11, whatever browser I use, the edit button disappears.
Actual Behavior
As the image shows. There is no button related to edit. But when I open some other pure txt file like .ini, .yaml, .txt etc, the edit button seems available.
And moreover, the check button which saves a file will lead to empty content injected and replace the total file.
Steps to Reproduce
Running v0.8.10 on windows 11
configure the local hosted open terminal
connect open webui to open terminal
open some markdown file
Logs & Screenshots
