Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.

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,

  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

I was able to replicate an issue on my local instance.
How does it happen:
https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/blob/46ae3f4f5d7d4d706041bdae4ad2d802e568712b/src/lib/components/layout/Sidebar.svelte#L208-L211$currentChatPage is increased inside loadMoreChats function - which is called:
if $scrollPaginationEnabled && !allChatsLoaded
https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/blob/46ae3f4f5d7d4d706041bdae4ad2d802e568712b/src/lib/components/layout/Sidebar.svelte#L1174-L1178If you delete chat - initChatList is called
https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/blob/46ae3f4f5d7d4d706041bdae4ad2d802e568712b/src/lib/components/layout/Sidebar.svelte#L179-L206there is a possibility that $currentChatPage > 1 when getChatList is executed (if you have slower internet connection, in my case I have reverse proxy to external server)
My quick fix:
https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/blob/46ae3f4f5d7d4d706041bdae4ad2d802e568712b/src/lib/components/layout/Sidebar.svelte#L179-L183
add: scrollPaginationEnabled.set(false);
after allChatsLoaded = false;
for me it seems fixes the issue

@lenz1111 This issue hasn't been solved yet, so a PR is definitely welcome! And while I wasn't able to reproduce the issue myself, I'm sure others would be happy to test your PR to see if it solves the problem, if you were to submit one.
