I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Expected Behavior

Start a conversation, ask a question, receive message from model, input more text for more questions

Actual Behavior

I can send one message, then after receiving a response, the entire chat input bar becomes a file upload button

Steps to Reproduce

Create a workspace with a default model
upload some knowledge files
start a chat in that workspace, ask one question
you wont be able to click the input bar anymore without it opening a file browser

Logs & Screenshots

No logs to share as there is no error to indicate anything is wrong

Additional Information

It does not happen in individual model chats, seemingly just in a workspace with knowledge files.
