README.md.Expected Behavior
Regular browser text box behavior.
Actual Behavior
On a recent update (currently I'm at
v0.6.31), empty lines started to use more vertical space.This text has a single empty line (although it looks like more):

But copying the text from the edit box and pasting it elsewhere now adds 3 empty lines for a single empty line in the text box (this is after pasting in VSCode)

I have rich text and predictive text disabled, so it's not related to any of those.
Also, it shows some sort of rich-text like behavior when I type the
/character. This is new (didn't happen before a recent update):Steps to Reproduce
Write text with some blank lines in the chat text box and copy and paste it elsewhere.
Logs & Screenshots
Included above.
Additional Information
Rich and predictive text modes disabled.
Also happens in latest Firefox (so not likely Chromium specific).

Addressed in dev!
@rotemdan commented on GitHub (Sep 29, 2025):
Thanks a lot. It fixed it when copying text I've written directly in the text box.
But now if I copy text from an external source like VScode:
And paste it into the edit box:
And then copy it back to VSCode, blank lines are lost:
I noticed it in the new version from a few hours ago and initially didn't understand why it was sometimes happening and sometimes didn't, until I realized it happened when I pasted text and then copied it back to somewhere else (I wrote a long message that initially wrote in VSCode, then modified it in
open-webui, then copied it back to VSCode and then all the empty lines were gone).
