Summary

In OpenClaw 2006.5.2, the Control UI/webchat sometimes only showed the latest message in a chat, while older messages were not visible in the UI.

Notes

  • The session history still existed on the backend.
  • This appeared to be a UI/rendering issue rather than data loss.
  • Downgrading from 2006.5.2 fixed the problem.

Environment

  • OpenClaw version: 2006.5.2
  • Surface: Control UI / webchat

Repro

Not fully isolated yet, but it occurred during normal chat use in the Control UI.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open OpenClaw 2006.5.2 in Control UI/webchat.
  2. Use the chat normally.
  3. Intermittently, the conversation view may show only the latest message while older messages remain missing from the UI. Downgrade to an earlier version and observe the issue no longer reproducing.

Expected behavior

Full chat history should render in the conversation view.

Actual behavior

Only the most recent message appeared visible in the chat UI.

TL;DR

Downgrade to an earlier version of OpenClaw to temporarily resolve the issue of missing chat history in the Control UI/webchat.

Guidance

  • Verify that the session history still exists on the backend to confirm it's a UI/rendering issue rather than data loss.
  • Test the chat functionality in different scenarios to isolate the steps to reproduce the issue.
  • Check if there are any known issues or updates related to the OpenClaw version 2006.5.2 that may be causing the problem.
  • Consider reporting the issue to the OpenClaw development team for further investigation and a potential fix.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to a specific version of OpenClaw and its interaction with the Control UI/webchat.

Notes

The provided information suggests that downgrading to an earlier version of OpenClaw resolves the issue, but it's essential to investigate and fix the root cause to ensure the chat history is properly rendered in the UI.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Downgrade to an earlier version of OpenClaw until a fixed version is released, as it has been confirmed to resolve the issue.
