Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.18 (5fbfe2bdca)

Ollama Version (if applicable)

v0.9.5 (5d8c173529)

Operating System

Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

Browser (if applicable)

Mozilla Firefox Debian Package (mozilla-deb - 1.0) v141.0 (64-bit)

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

The height of the chat input field should remain consistent and stable in the UI, regardless of whether the "Rich Text Input for Chat" setting is toggled on or off.

Actual Behavior

When the "Rich Text Input for Chat" setting is toggled (switched from on to off, or off to on), the height of the chat input field subtly changes. This causes a minor, noticeable vertical shift in the height of the chat input field.

Steps to Reproduce

Toggle on and then off the Rich Text Input for Chat option in the user settings menu. Observe the chat input field subtly changing in height when toggled on compared to toggled off.

Logs & Screenshots

Rich Text Input for Chat toggled ON:

Rich Text Input for Chat toggled OFF:

Additional Information

This is a minor visual inconsistency and does not affect the functionality of the chat input or the rich text features. The height change is very subtle, likely only by less than 100 pixels.

Addressed with 0763d8e!

I don't believe this did the trick. There's still a subtle height change with the chat input field when Rich Text Input for Chat gets toggled on (and even the Send a Message text turns more gray with it on).
