Bug Report

Installation Method

I have OpenWebUI installed on docker with remove Ollama running on MacOS

Environment

  • Open WebUI Version: v0.3.34

  • Ollama (if applicable): 0.3.13

  • Operating System: macOS Sonoma

  • Browser (if applicable): Firefox 131

Expected Behavior:

When chatting with multiple models, the answer of each model is output into separate collumns. When we click merge responses, a new response is created below them. When a follow up question is submitted, I would expect the merged response to be used for follow up chats and the merged reponse stays in the message history to track the conversation.

Actual Behavior:

After merging the responses of multiple models, if I submit follow up questions, the merged response is deleted and it seems the message is not used as context to follow up questions

Description

Bug Summary:

If you send a follow up message to a multi-model chat after a merged response is generated, the UI will delete the merged response before proceeding to respond the follow-up questions

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Start a new chat and select 2 or more models
  • Submit a request and wait for completion
  • Click merge responses (Icon on bottom right of the answers)
  • Wait for model to complete the response merge
  • Submit a follow up request
  • Merged response is deleted (bug)
  • New responses are generated based on previous model responses

I am re-opening this issue myself because I have searched for existing issues or discussions to see if a similar issue has already been reported and came across this issue. I have this bug sometimes (hit-or-miss during testing) on the latest version of Open WebUI (v0.6.14), but the issue DOES exist and should be examined for reproducibility.

Here's a screen recording that I managed to capture of this bug in action:
