Additionally optimized the PDF generation algorithm with improved canvas slicing, better memory management, and enhanced image quality, while removing the problematic PDF export option from individual chat menus to prevent further confusion.
• 🖱️ Windows Sidebar Cursor Icon Corrected: Fixed confusing cursor icons on Windows systems where sidebar toggle buttons displayed resize cursors (ew-resize) instead of appropriate pointer cursors. The sidebar buttons now show standard pointer cursors on Windows, eliminating user confusion about whether the buttons expand/collapse the sidebar or resize it.
• 📝 Safari IME Composition Bug Fixed: Resolved an issue where pressing Enter while composing Chinese text using Input Method Editors (IMEs) on Safari would prematurely send messages instead of completing text composition. The system now properly detects composition states and ignores keydown events that occur immediately after composition ends, ensuring smooth multilingual text input across all browsers.
• 🔍 Hybrid Search Parameter Handling Fixed: Fixed an issue where the "hybrid" parameter in collection query requests was not being properly evaluated, causing the system to ignore user-specified hybrid search preferences and only check global configuration. Additionally resolved a division by zero error that occurred in hybrid search when BM25Retriever was called with empty document lists, ensuring robust search functionality across all collection states.
• 💬 RTL Text Orientation in Messages Fixed: Fixed text alignment issues in user messages and AI responses for Right-to-Left languages, ensuring proper text direction based on user language settings.
