Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • 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

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.41

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Windows 11

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome 142.0

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 clicking the "Save" button next to a code block (e.g., python ...), the browser should download a file with the appropriate name and extension (e.g., code.py). This is the standard behavior for code export in chat interfaces.

Actual Behavior

Clicking the "Save" button results in no action:

  • No file is downloaded.
  • No request appears in the Network tab.
  • No error is shown in the browser console.
  • Other buttons ("Copy", "Run", "Collapse") work correctly on the same code block.

However, manually executing a Blob-based download script in the browser console successfully downloads the file, proving the content and permissions are valid.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start with a clean system (e.g., Ubuntu 22.04 or Windows 11).
  2. Install Docker Engine (version ≥24.0).
  3. Pull and run the official Open WebUI image
docker run -d -p 3000:8080 \
  --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
  -v open-webui-data:/app/backend/data \
  --name open-webui \
  ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
  1. Wait for the container to start (docker logs -f open-webui shows "Application startup complete").
  2. Open Google Chrome 125 (or Firefox 126) in incognito mode.
  3. Navigate to http://localhost:3000.
  4. Complete onboarding (create user, connect to Ollama or any backend).
  5. In the chat, send the prompt:
    Write a simple "Hello, World!" program in Python
  6. Wait for the response containing:
    print("Hello, World!")
  7. Hover over the code block to reveal action buttons.
  8. Click the "Save" button (not "Copy" or "Run").
  9. Observe: nothing happens — no file is saved, no visual feedback, no console error.
  10. Verification step: Open DevTools (F12), go to Console, and run
const lang = document.querySelector('.code-block')?.getAttribute('data-language') || 'txt';
const ext = ({python:'py', javascript:'js', typescript:'ts', html:'html', css:'css', json:'json', markdown:'md', bash:'sh'})[lang] || 'txt';
const blob = new Blob([code], {type: 'text/plain'});
const a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
a.download = `code.${ext}`;
a.click();
URL.revokeObjectURL(a.href);

→ Result: file downloads successfully.

Logs & Screenshots

Browser console output (no errors, only warning):

[tiptap warn]: Duplicate extension names found: ['codeBlock', 'bulletList', 'listItem', 'listKeymap', 'orderedList']. This can lead to issues.

Docker logs (relevant part):

2025-12-03 12:16:52.897 | INFO | uvicorn.protocols.http.httptools_impl:send:476 - ...:48350 - "POST /api/v1/chats/... HTTP/1.1" 200

→ No errors related to file download (as expected — it’s client-side).

Additional Information

  • The issue is client-side only — no server interaction is involved in the "Save" action.
  • The fact that manual Blob download works confirms:
  • The code content is accessible.
  • Browser permissions are not blocking downloads.
  • This strongly suggests a bug in the click handler for .save-code-button, likely due to:
  • Incorrect DOM traversal (e.g., after Tiptap/Svelte update),
  • Silent failure when generating filename (e.g., code.undefined),
  • Or event handler not being properly bound due to duplicate Tiptap extensions (as per console warning).

The save button changes your modifications

edit the code
click save
reload page
observe your changes are still there

its not a download button, it is to save the code

Ah, got it! Thanks for clarifying.
I misunderstood the purpose of the button - I thought "Save" meant "Download as file", not "Save edits to the message".
Maybe a tooltip or different label (like "Save edits") would help avoid confusion for other users too.
Anyway, thanks for the explanation!
