Bug Report

Installation Method

docker

Environment

  • Open WebUI Version: v0.3.35

  • Ollama (if applicable): N/A

  • Operating System: container

  • Browser (if applicable): Firefox 131

Confirmation:

  • I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
  • 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.
  • I have provided the exact steps to reproduce the bug in the "Steps to Reproduce" section below.

Expected Behavior:

Chat name with title auto-generation off is the beginning of the first input to the chat.

Actual Behavior:

Chat name with title auto-generation off is "New chat"

Description

Bug Summary:
I recently changed my image in docker-compose.yml from ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main to ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:v0.3.35 and now all my chats are "New chat" rather than the first prompt text.

I think the last time I had done docker pull was 2024-08-21. I may do some bisecting to see if I can figure out where the change specifically happened.

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:
Go to preferences and turn off title auto-generation, create new chat.

Logs and Screenshots

Browser Console Logs:
N/A

Docker Container Logs:
N/A

Screenshots/Screen Recordings (if applicable):

I have the same result on a docker installation, on OpenWebUi 0.3.35 but it's from 3.32 or early. It worked before 0.3.30

Marking Autogeneration it's the same result

SO: MacOS
Installation: Docker image 0.3.35
Ollama 0.3.14
Model qwen2.5:7b

i think there might be a regression of this in v0.6.33. i see the logic for when/how titles get updated in backend/open_webui/utils/middleware.py was changed around a bit... i don't have time to capture debug info right now, but wanted to leave a note here.

seeing this behavior with external OpenAI chats as well as local ollama chats, i have title autogeneration disabled completely. before updating to v0.6.33 this worked as expected.

Confirmed: I tested the behavior myself.

  • With the Docker image tagged 0.6.32 and “Title Auto-Generation” turned off, the chat title is populated with the text of the user’s first message.
  • After stopping the container, switching the image tag to dev (latest digest pulled just now), and restarting, the identical “Title Auto-Generation” setting now leaves every new conversation titled “New Chat” regardless of the first message sent.

This reproduces the regression described by @ohgodhowdidthisgethereiamnotgoodwithcom.
