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

0.6.22

Ollama Version (if applicable)

0.11.4

Operating System

Alma Linux 9.6

Browser (if applicable)

Brave 1.18.135 / Chromium 139.0.7258.127

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

When a submitted chat message only contains an image, when hovering over the message/image the icons should appear to delete or edit the message.

Actual Behavior

When a submitted chat message only contains an image, the icons to delete or edit the message do not appear when hovering over the message/image. This means the message/image cannot be deleted.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Start a new chat.
  • Add a message only containing an image attachment without any text
  • Try to edit the message - the icons to edit/delete will not appear when hovering over the message.

Logs & Screenshots

Additional Information

#16710 now with a screenshot proving the existence of the problem. Note the mouse pointer hovering over the image, but the pencil and trash can icons under the message do not appear when hovering the cursor over the message.

Image

Again, unable to reproduce.

First message cannot be deleted unless there's a sibling message, which occurs regardless of whether it's an image only message or not.
