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

Git Clone

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.43.2

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

win11

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

Users can create a new conversation by clicking the "New Chat" button, and by setting a default model, a new dialog box will be created upon clicking.

Actual Behavior

After clicking "New Chat," the page does not refresh to the new dialog interface but remains on the original conversation. Additionally, the model set via the sidebar cannot be used. When clicking the pre-configured model in the sidebar, the page URL changes, but the expected result is not achieved—the interface still stays on the original conversation page.

Steps to Reproduce

When logged in as a regular user, the functionality of selecting a model and pinning it to the sidebar remains operational. However, when using a model pinned in the sidebar or the preset default model, only the URL changes—the expected effect is not produced.

Logs & Screenshots

Bv06q6k0.js:146 [tiptap warn]: Duplicate extension names found: ['codeBlock', 'bulletList', 'listItem', 'listKeymap', 'orderedList']. This can lead to issues.

I think this is fixed in dev - please check

I am unable to reproduce the described issue on the latest dev branch. I have tested using both Chrome and Firefox browsers. More information is warranted.
