New version 0.19.1 source document citation disorder

[chaijl]

When creating a new session query in version 0.19.1, the source file references and reference content can be displayed normally. However, when the session page is refreshed and viewed again, its references are confused and will not be displayed. I don't know if this is a bug or something? The specific effect can be seen in my first and refresh screenshots.

This looks like a bug in version 0.19.1 related to how RAGFlow aligns messages and their references. Both the backend and frontend rely on the order of the message and reference arrays matching exactly—if they get out of sync (for example, after a refresh or data mutation), citations can appear missing or mismatched. There are limited safeguards to prevent this, and recent code changes have addressed similar issues, such as fixing list boundary errors in session handling that could cause citation disorder see PR #7843.

There’s no official documentation or fix for this specific problem in 0.19.1. To work around it, try recreating the session or avoid manual edits that might change the message/reference order. If you’re comfortable reviewing logs or code, check for mismatches between the number of assistant messages and references after a refresh. This is a known fragile area, so keep an eye out for future updates or patches that address message-reference alignment.

The issue has not been resolved in the new version, I don't know which side I need to submit the problem to?

I have also encountered this issue. When generating the content for the first time, the citation of the file was displayed normally. However, after refreshing the page, the file citation was attached to the opening remarks, and there was no file citation below the response.
