Repeating Group Showing Twice and Mirrored Selection Bug on Main Branch

Bugs
1

Hi everyone,

I’m facing a strange issue on my Bubble app’s main branch. A repeating group on one of my pages is rendering twice — two identical copies stacked or side by side. Here’s what’s even more confusing:

  • Any interaction with one (e.g., clicking a button inside a repeating group cell) mirrors the same action on the other.
  • It feels like both are the same element duplicated visually, not as separate components.
  • Inspecting the element tree doesn’t show two separate repeating groups.
  • This issue only exists in my main branch, but when I create a new branch from it, the bug persists and carries over.
  • I’ve already tried hiding/showing, refreshing, and even rebuilding the group — no luck so far.

Has anyone encountered something similar or knows how to debug this?

Would appreciate any insight or workaround! Thanks in advance :folded_hands:

Can you send a quick Loom showing the bug and the elements tree?

Your assertion and what you just showed don’t match

Its the same repeating group showing twice the assertion is
" repeating group on one of my pages is rendering twice "

I see two Repeating Groups in your elements tree, probably copy pasted with the same logic in them.

I wouldn’t expect anything different from two RGs being rendered on screen. And should they contain the same logic, I wouldn’t suspect from one of them reacting to actions performed on the other.

they cant be coppied because they act as one

in the image here I only clicked one group the “Group Petty Cash” but its selecting the one below it , Any interaction with one mirrors the same action on the other as if they are linked somehow .

Oh wait.

You meant the RG is rendered twice in the elements tree itself?

I guess you did. I was answering as if they were rendering in the actual app preview. This is a completely different story

yes exactly

This is surely a bug. Have you reported it here already?

11

I already contacted them regarding this waiting for a response I’ll let you know when i hear from them thank you

Very odd. I’ve never experienced such a thing. :thinking: A couple thoughts…

  • Just curious if you’re using any Bubble editor browser extensions.

  • Have you tried copying the RG to the clipboard, deleting it, and then pasting it back in?

    (I’d suggest creating a save point and/or exporting the app before trying. I’d also suggest first opening a brand new browser tab - not just refreshing the existing editor page.)

This is a known bug and I’ve experienced it.
From my experience:

  1. This requires Bubble support to delete one of the groups, so contact them about it
  2. If possible, after it’s fixed in Main, don’t merge in a branch that was branched off Main before the fix, otherwise it may bring the bug back and you’ll need to go through the process with Bubble support again. Instead, after Bubble has fixed it, create new branches. (We had a 6-month project in one branch, so we didn’t have that choice, and had to go through support a few times when we merged that branch in.)

This is a bug and I informed bubble support team by raising a bug report they resolved this
all sorted !
