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

Git Clone

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.10

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

MacOS 26

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

If there are pending queued messages and no active generation/task, queued messages should automatically continue sending in order.
Conversation switching should not break queue consumption.

Actual Behavior

The conversation is no longer generating (stopped state).
The queue still contains pending messages.
Pending queued messages are not automatically dispatched anymore.
Queue remains stuck until manual intervention (if any).

Steps to Reproduce

Enable Message Queue in settings.
Start sending prompts quickly so multiple prompts are queued.
While generation/queueing is ongoing, repeatedly switch between different conversations.
Continue sending messages in each conversation to build up queued items.
Wait until one conversation appears as “stopped” (no active generation).
