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 I select a word where I can "ask" about the word an new input box appears with "Ask a question". But I select a word on most left side, only half of the box is shown.
Actual Behavior
I would expect the box to always appear in the middle of the screen
Steps to Reproduce
Open chat
Ask it to produce some content
Select a word that is placed on the far left side and right click
click ask

🟣#1954bug: Model selection drop down covered by left side hamburger menu This is a UI positioning/overlay bug where a dropdown is rendered in the wrong place and gets obscured by another element. While it concerns the model dropdown rather than the Ask popup, it is the closest match to the reported box being rendered partially out of view on the left side. by aniqueta
🟣#6042Input box issue in the new UI This issue discusses the new UI input box width/layout being too large or not harmonious, which is related to sizing and positioning of input-like overlays. It is less specific than the Ask popup bug, but still potentially relevant to UI box rendering behavior. by imoyy
🟣#14269issue: How to add a selection box function This is about a selection-related box/popup function in the chat UI. It is not the same symptom, but it is in the same feature area as the Ask-on-selection interaction and may share the same selection popup implementation. by zmwstu · bug
