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

v0.8.12

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Mac

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

If the input box contains text, always show the Send icon (even during ongoing generation).
The Stop icon should have consistent visual style with Send and Voice icons (button shape, sizing, and background hierarchy).

Actual Behavior

  1. Start a response generation.
  2. Type text into the message input.
  3. The Stop icon may still be shown instead of Send (or style mismatch appears among action icons).
  4. Stop icon style does not align with Send/Voice icon styles.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start a response generation.
  2. Type text into the message input.
  3. The Stop icon may still be shown instead of Send (or style mismatch appears among action icons).
  4. Stop icon style does not align with Send/Voice icon styles.

@tjbck Because the buttons are different sizes, the new interaction feels very odd.
