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

v0.8.8, v0.8.10 dev

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Windows 11 (browser)

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome 146.0.7680.80

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

All chat messages are pretty much the copy of the raw text (not including reasoning blocks and tool call-related blocks).

Actual Behavior

  1. Under certain circumstances, other blocks like reasoning are leaked into the copied text.
  2. On reasoning models, excess new lines are prefixed before the beginning.

Steps to Reproduce

Reproducing sub-issue 2 is pretty easy.

  1. Chat and receive a response from a reasoning model.
  2. Copy the response.
  3. It's almost certain that the message copied has one or more new lines at the beginning.

To reproduce sub-issue 1, an extra care must be taken to ensure that a few backticks "`" are created inside the reasoning block. I used:

Model: Qwen3.5-35B-A3B:UD-Q4_K_XL
Prompt: Write out a few number of backticks.

Logs & Screenshots

Notice that there an excess new line at the start.

Sub-issue 1

In this invocation, three backticks are the final output.
Notice that the reasoning block is visible.

Additional Information

This is almost the same issue as #22197 but also applies to the response copy feature.

A follow-up PR after #22237 is to be submitted.
