Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.32

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Windows 11 24H2

Browser (if applicable)

Brave 1.82.172 (Official Build) (64-bit) Chromium: 140.0.7339.207

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

Standard copy and paste for selection (via Ctrl-C or context menu "copy" action)

Actual Behavior

Selecting text and copying to clipboard copies all the content of the text box to the clipboard, not just the selection.

Steps to Reproduce

Selecting text on chat textbox:

Then copying it to clipboard:

Copies everything in the textbox, so when pasted:

Logs & Screenshots

Included.

Additional Information

Also occurs in Firefox.
Rich text and predictive text modes disabled.

Also, added a follow-up update comment on #17839 (issue with blank lines during copy/paste) here , since there's now a different, but related issue with paste operations removing blank lines (instead of adding them). Didn't want to open a new issue just for that, but let me know if you prefer one.
