Ignore IME Enter in chat search, persist control edits
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Open WebUI
Two UI fixes ship in open-webui: IME composition no longer triggers unintended searches, and control edits survive navigation.
A fix landed for the chat search modal and sidebar search input where pressing Enter to confirm an IME composition (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) was treated as a normal Enter, triggering an unintended search action. The keydown handlers in SearchInput.svelte and SearchModal.svelte now ignore keydown events during composition, so composing text is confirmed without side effects. [1]
Control edits now persist across navigation, addressing a UX gap where changes to controls were lost when moving between views. [2]
Localization continued with a pt-BR translation pass covering newly added UI items and a consistency check across existing strings, with "No logic changes." [3][4] Irish localization also gained 46 new translated strings. [5]
Action items
- → Test chat search with IME input after updating to the latest dev build open-webui/open-webui [plan]
