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
When using the RAG feature with a PDF file added via drag and drop, the answer should include a "References from" section at the bottom. This section previously listed the relevant document chunks used to generate the response.
Actual Behavior
After updating from v0.6.2 to v0.6.8, the "References from" section no longer appears in the response, even though the RAG functionality still works and the answers are contextually correct.
Steps to Reproduce
Launch OpenWebUI v0.6.8
2. Use a local DeepSeek-R1 model
3. Drag and drop a PDF file into the interface to build the knowledge base
4. Build a new model based on "DeepSeek-R1 + knownledge"
5. Observe the response: the "References from" section is missing
Logs & Screenshots
