Changelog Entry
Description
This pull request addresses an issue where hovering the mouse over the model selector on the "New Chat" page would unintentionally refresh the default prompt suggestions. This change ensures that the suggestions remain static unless a new model is explicitly selected from the dropdown menu, improving the user experience by preventing unwanted UI updates.
Removed
Removed the on:mouseenter event handler from the model selector trigger component (src/lib/components/chat/ModelSelector/Selector.svelte). This handler was responsible for re-fetching the model list on hover, which caused the undesirable refresh of prompt suggestions.
Fixed
Fixed a bug that caused the default prompt suggestions to be re-randomized whenever the user's mouse pointer hovered over the model selector, even without clicking or changing the selection.
Additional Information
The root cause of the issue was an API call (getModels) being triggered by the on:mouseenter event. By removing this event handler, the API is no longer called on hover, and the prompt suggestions only update when a new model is actually selected, as intended.
Screenshots or Videos
Before (Hovering the mouse pointer over the model picker, moving the mouse a little, and moving the mouse pointer back would result in the models endpoint being called each time):
After (Now, only a single call is made to the Ollama version endpoint when the model picker is opened and no network activity is created from the previous reproduction steps to trigger requests to the models endpoint):
