Bug Report

Installation Method

git checkout v0.5.18
docker build -t open-webui .
docker run --network=host -e GLOBAL_LOG_LEVEL="DEBUG" -e WEBUI_AUTH=False -e OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0 -e OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui open-webui

Environment

Open WebUI Version: v0.5.18
Ollama (if applicable): v0.5.11
Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
Browser (if applicable): Brave 1.75.181 Chromium: 133.0.6943.141

Expected Behavior:

Editor should not remove any whitespace or formatting symbols from the document.

Actual Behavior:

After either uploading new documents or creating new documents from scratch in the editor, formatting symbols (e.g. # _ *) and newlines are deleted after saving.

This bug appeared sometime around v0.5.12. I rolled back to v0.5.11 to confirm that the behavior was correct.

Description

Bug Summary:

Uploaded documents have their formatting broken and newlines removed
Modifying said uploaded documents by introducing newlines and then saving them reproduces the same behavior

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:

create a text file with the following content:

# a
b
c

upload file to knowledge base
open file in editor view
file contents look like this:

# a b c

notice that clicking another document in the knowledge base view and then clicking the newly created document causes the formatting to change (again)
