Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

0.5.20

Ollama Version (if applicable)

0.5.12

Operating System

Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS

Browser (if applicable)

Firefox

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 listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Expected Behavior

During the inference, the interface displays a "Stop" button instead of the "Call" button, allowing users to stop the inference if needed.

Actual Behavior

If a user leaves the current conversation (e.g., switching to another conversation or accessing it from a different device like a mobile to insure continuity) and returns, the "Stop" button reverts to the "Call" button while the inference is still ongoing. As a result, the user cannot stop the inference, which can lead to resource issues (LLM taking VRAM when it shouldn't), which can lead to actual multi-user problems. That's why its a very important issue.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Start an inference.
  • Leave the chat (swtiching conversation, opening another window, going to parameters, etc)
  • Go back to the conversation while the LLM is still thinking.
    -> The stop button isn't there.

Logs & Screenshots

I'm not sure there are logs to show but fortunately it's easy to reproduce.

Additional Information

This was reported in this discussion, but it's a very important functional bug that must be tracked and I didn't saw it in the issue list.
