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

v0.8.10

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

MacOS 26

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

Once the model response is fully complete (stream ends / stop signal received), all UI indicators — including the thinking/reasoning spinner — should transition to a "completed" state. The thinking section should show a static "Thought for X seconds" label (or similar) instead of the ongoing spinning animation, even if the thinking block was not explicitly closed by the model.

Actual Behavior

The thinking spinner continues indefinitely after the response is complete. This is misleading to users, as it suggests the model is still processing when it has already finished.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use a model that supports thinking/reasoning (e.g., Gemini 3 Preview).
  2. Send a simple message (e.g., "Hello").
  3. The model responds with a thinking block.
  4. Stop the responses.
  5. Observe that the response content has fully rendered and the input box is ready for a new message, but the "Thinking..." indicator still shows a spinning animation as if the model is still processing.
