I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.
Installation Method
Docker
Open WebUI Version
v0.6.12
Ollama Version (if applicable)
0.8.0
Operating System
Windows 11
Browser (if applicable)

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
Clicking on icon "+" in chats panel list will create a new fodler.
Actual Behavior
CLicking on icon "+" in chats panel throw an error "[ERROR: Folder already exists]" even if no folder already exist nor is displayed.
Steps to Reproduce
Launch Open Web UI
CLick en "+" icon on the right of "Chats" in left panel
Error is displayed "[ERROR: Folder already exists]" and no folder is created
I have this issue from multiple version of open-webui.
I tested with a fresh account, first click on "+" don't show error but no new folder, second click show error and no new folder also.
Seems a display issue.
