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

0.6.15

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

ubuntu 24

Browser (if applicable)

No response

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

The text should be pasted completely, displaying its line breaks correctly.

Actual Behavior

On mobile devices, the chat message input field in the social application fails to paste multi-line text containing line breaks when selected from the system's clipboard suggestions/history. This issue is observed only in applications or browsers that rely on the Android System WebView (e.g., in-app WebView pages, or browsers that utilize the system WebView), but not in browsers with their own built-in rendering engines (e.g., Chrome, Firefox). Additionally, pasting by long-pressing the input field and selecting "Paste" works correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

On a mobile device, open OpenWebUI (via browser or within an in-app embedded page).
Copy a multi-line text containing line breaks from any other application on the phone.
Return to the OpenWebUI interface and tap the message input field.
Wait for or trigger the system's clipboard suggestions (e.g., clipboard content displayed above the keyboard).
Tap on the multi-line text from the clipboard suggestions to paste it.

Logs & Screenshots

not

Additional Information

Pasting by long-pressing the input field and selecting "Paste" from the context menu works without this issue.
This issue occurs only on mobile devices.
Confirmed that changing different IMEs (including System Default, Sougou, Gboard) does not resolve the problem.
