Bug Report

Description

Bug Summary:
When I continue a response, it is not possible to stop the generation until the stop sequence, this makes it so that I have to wait until the model completes the response. This is painful in contexts where long responses are wanted.

Steps to Reproduce:
Generate a response, continue it using the button. May have to edit it somewhat to not run into a stop sequence the first token.

Expected Behavior:
To see the pause generation button that normally takes the place of the send message button when the model is generating

Actual Behavior:
The send message is greyed out, but not replaced with the pause generation button.

Note: It seems clicking the edit button again while a continue generation is happening pauses it. But it might still be a good idea to change this behavior. On second thought, clicking the edit button while the generation is happening seems to cause some weirdness in the way of the response being continued from the unedited state sometimes.

Environment

  • Operating System: Arch Linux
  • Browser (if applicable): Firefox 122.0.1
