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

0.6.43

Ollama Version (if applicable)

0.13.5

Operating System

Ubuntu 25.10

Browser (if applicable)

Vivaldi

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

Hovering over the file name being referenced with # the knowledge base the file belongs to should also be shown.

Actual Behavior

Starting version 0.6..42-43 hovering over the file name being referenced with # - the knowledge base the file belongs to is no longer displayed - only the undefined string.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Set up new Knowledge in Workspace (or use an existing one).
  2. Upload a file to it.
  3. Go to chats
  4. Reference the file with #
  5. Hover over the file name to see which Knowledge does it belong to

I am able to reproduce this issue on the latest dev branch. It should be a relatively easy fix, so I'll see if I can submit a PR to address this one.
