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:

Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

I am able to reproduce the issue with Rich Text Input for Chat toggled on in the user Interface settings menu. If Rich Text Input for Chat is toggled off, I am unable to reproduce this issue with the provided reproduction steps. My Open WebUI instance is utilizing the latest dev commit.

I see, i think it might be worth having this disabled by default? It has confused a couple users with our deployment so far. or maybe something more obvious near the chat bar itself that allows you to toggle rich text input
