Pull Request Checklist

Note to first-time contributors: Please open a discussion post in Discussions to discuss your idea/fix with the community before creating a pull request, and describe your changes before submitting a pull request.

This is to ensure large feature PRs are discussed with the community first, before starting work on it. If the community does not want this feature or it is not relevant for Open WebUI as a project, it can be identified in the discussion before working on the feature and submitting the PR.

Before submitting, make sure you've checked the following:

  • Target branch: Verify that the pull request targets the dev branch. PRs targeting main will be immediately closed.
  • Description: Provide a concise description of the changes made in this pull request down below.
  • Changelog: Ensure a changelog entry following the format of Keep a Changelog is added at the bottom of the PR description.
  • Documentation: Add docs in Open WebUI Docs Repository. Document user-facing behavior, environment variables, public APIs/interfaces, or deployment steps.
  • Dependencies: Are there any new or upgraded dependencies? If so, explain why, update the changelog/docs, and include any compatibility notes. Actually run the code/function that uses updated library to ensure it doesn't crash.
  • Testing: Perform manual tests to verify the implemented fix/feature works as intended AND does not break any other functionality. Include reproducible steps to demonstrate the issue before the fix. Test edge cases (URL encoding, HTML entities, types). Take this as an opportunity to make screenshots of the feature/fix and include them in the PR description.
  • Agentic AI Code: Confirm this Pull Request is not written by any AI Agent or has at least gone through additional human review AND manual testing. If any AI Agent is the co-author of this PR, it may lead to immediate closure of the PR.
  • Code review: Have you performed a self-review of your code, addressing any coding standard issues and ensuring adherence to the project's coding standards?
  • Design & Architecture: Prefer smart defaults over adding new settings; use local state for ephemeral UI logic. Open a Discussion for major architectural or UX changes.
  • Git Hygiene: Keep PRs atomic (one logical change). Clean up commits and rebase on dev to ensure no unrelated commits (e.g. from main) are included. Push updates to the existing PR branch instead of closing and reopening.
  • Title Prefix: To clearly categorize this pull request, prefix the pull request title using one of the following:
    • fix: Bug fix or error correction

Changelog Entry

Description

  • Fixed a bug where the top navigation tabs in the Admin Panel and Workspace Panel could be dragged as ghost images via native HTML5 drag-and-drop or text-selection behaviors natively.

Added

  • Appended draggable="false" to the individual navigation anchor tabs natively in src/routes/(app)/admin/+layout.svelte and src/routes/(app)/workspace/+layout.svelte to prevent standard element tearing during pointer drags.
  • Applied the select-none Tailwind utility class directly to the parent <nav> container headers uniformly in both layouts to prevent users from accidentally highlighting the UI wrapper and dragging the entire container as one massive ghost artifact.

Fixed

  • Eliminated native HTML5 ghost dragging anomalies on the top navigation bar tabs (e.g., Users, Analytics, Models, Knowledge).

Additional Information

  • Context: The <a> tags globally used for top-level navigation in the admin and workspace routes previously lacked native drag constraints, carelessly allowing them to be ripped and dragged which created visual glitch cursors natively in HTML5. While appending draggable="false" gracefully prevented tearing each individual element, highlighting empty space via text selection blindly bypassed the first fix—causing the entire parent flex container format to natively drag as one giant ghost chunk. By securely elevating select-none precisely to the outermost <nav> element boundary and independently preserving draggable="false" on the internal link children concurrently, the entire routing header is now perfectly immune natively to phantom dragging sweeps across the entire app unconditionally.
