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

0.8.8

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Ubuntu 24.04

Browser (if applicable)

No response

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

Create a new chat. Ask "What is your favorite color?". Get a response, e.g. "Blue". Edit the response to say something else, e.g. "Yellow". Ask "What color did you name just now?". Correct response "Yellow".

Actual Behavior

Create a new chat. Ask "What is your favorite color?". Get a response, e.g. "Blue". Edit the response to say something else, e.g. "Yellow". Ask "What color did you name just now?". Wrong response "Blue".

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new chat
Ask a question
Edit the answer to something different
Ask something else, referring to the modified answer

Result: Get a response referring the original answer before it was edited.

Additional Information

I was upgrading directly from 6.x to 0.8.5, when I first noticed the bug. Updated and checked every version since then, and the bug is consistent. I even set up a completely fresh v0.8.8 instance to verify this.

From the logs, it's clear that it's not an issue with the inferencing provider. Open-webui actually sends the wrong (i.e. unedited) chat history. I edited the LLM response from "Cerulean." to "Yellow."
