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

v0.8.12

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Mac

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

  • The delete button should be disabled or show a loading state after the first click, preventing duplicate requests.
  • Alternatively, a debounce mechanism should be applied so that rapid consecutive clicks are coalesced into a single deletion request.
  • At most one toast should appear per action.

Actual Behavior

Multiple delete API requests are fired in rapid succession. Since the chat is already deleted after the first request, the subsequent requests fail and each one triggers a separate error toast — resulting in a stack of identical "We could not find what you looking for :/" error notifications flooding the screen.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the sidebar chat list.
  2. Hold Shift (to skip the confirmation dialog).
  3. Rapidly click the delete button on a chat multiple times in quick succession.
  4. Observe multiple identical error toasts appearing.
