openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: Image attachment send silently blocked after first successful image message in control UI

After sending one image attachment successfully in the webchat, all subsequent image sends are silently dropped — no console error, no network request, nothing reaches the gateway. Text-only messages continue to work fine. Actual: Message is dropped with no error in console, no network request made, no gateway log entry function Pp(e){return e.chatSending||!!e.chatRunId} is the send guard. chatRunId is set when a message is sent and only cleared when the server returns a final/aborted/error run state. After an image message completes, chatRunId is not being cleared — leaving the UI permanently in a "busy" state that silently blocks all subsequent image sends.

TL;DR

The issue can be temporarily resolved by reloading the page after each image send to reset the chatRunId state.

Guidance

• The chatRunId is not being cleared after an image message is sent, causing the UI to remain in a "busy" state and block subsequent image sends.
• To verify the issue, check the chatRunId value after sending an image and confirm it is not being reset.
• A potential fix could involve modifying the Pp function to properly clear the chatRunId after a successful image send.
• Consider adding error handling to detect and handle cases where the chatRunId is not being cleared correctly.

Example

function Pp(e){
  if (e.chatSending || !!e.chatRunId) {
    // Add logic to clear chatRunId after successful send
    if (/* send successful */) {
      e.chatRunId = null;
    }
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}

Notes

The provided workaround of reloading the page after each image send is temporary and may not be suitable for production use. A more permanent fix would involve modifying the underlying code to properly handle the chatRunId state.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround of reloading the page after each image send until a permanent fix can be implemented, as it allows for continued use of the chat functionality while a more robust solution is developed.
