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

Docker

Open WebUI Version

0.641

Ollama Version (if applicable)

N/A

Operating System

MacOS 26.1

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome 143.0.7499.170

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

OpenWebUI should allow me to edit an existing thread with attached message so I can remove or replace the image.

Coincidentally, if I switch from a vision/multi-modal model to a text one, it will error out if I have an image. But I can't delete the image without also deleting my prompt.

Actual Behavior

Copy/paste in a new thread works fine. But if I try to edit an existing thread with 1 or more images I can't copy/paste the image.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a simple thread with just one image and associated prompt.
  2. Run it.
  3. Switch to another thread and go back to it.
  4. Try to edit the message to remove message and observe that I can't copy/paste new image from clipboard.
  5. Create a new thread and observe I can copy/paste the same image from clipboard without issues.

Logs & Screenshots

N/A

Additional Information

I realize I could do @ but when limited to 1 model at a time on server due to resources this can cause an issues. Besides, I should be able to edit previous messages at will as I can do in ChatGPT, etc.

It'd not clear that these are identical issues Mr. Robot. :) To any concerned, please leave this open and I'll happily retest in the next release when the related bugs are fixed. Thanks.
