Open WebUI workaround tackles scroll jumps
The post describes a self-hosted workaround for the scrolling bug reported in Open WebUI 0.9.0, where streaming responses can make the chat viewport jump around during generation. The author says the fix isolates the messages container’s layout, disables spacer-driven virtualization while generating is true, and restores normal virtualization one frame after streaming ends, but frames it as an unverified local patch rather than an official upstream fix.
Hot take: this reads like a plausible, tightly scoped workaround for a real regression, but it should be treated as a community patch until upstream confirms the root cause and ships something equivalent. The behavior matches a classic virtualization-versus-streaming-height race, especially with Firefox scroll anchoring complaints, and the file-level patch surface makes it easy to test quickly. The caveat is that the post is based on the author’s code comparison and personal instance, not a confirmed upstream diagnosis.
