I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.32

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Fedora 42

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome 140.0.7339.207

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

When setting the Enter Key Behavior to Ctrl+Enter to Send, after typing a message in input box, pressing ctrl+enter should send the message regardless of browser window size.

Actual Behavior

On Chrome, when shrinking the window to mobile/narrow view, ctrl+enter does not send the message but works only as a newline.
This was observed both on Windows and Linux Chrome, while Firefox works as expected. Sometimes this bug almost randomly disappears and reappears.

Steps to Reproduce

Install OpenWebUI v0.6.32 with docker
Start OpenWebUI with the default compose.yaml
Use Chrome to open OpenWebUI url with a wide window
Go through setup and change enter key behavior to ctrl+enter to send
Resize the window to a narrow mobile view with folded sidebar
Start a new chat, type a message and press ctrl+enter
A newline is entered instead of sending the message

Logs & Screenshots

(Setting has been configured to ctrl+enter to send)

(Entered a newline after pressing ctrl+enter)
