Toolbox duplicating items by itself

Not sure how it happened, but i opened one of my toolbox folders and found that all the items
had been duplicated. 3 or 4 folders are like this.
What causes this behaviour? User error?

And then about an hour later....

back to the way it was; single entries & no duplications

I guess they wanted to make the toolbox sooo gooood, that they made it sooo baaaad

It looks that some refreshing trigger is missing (or stuck somewhere among other priorities) from time to time.

Almost certainly a bug - Walter reported
problems the other day with his toolbox too; a similar thing where the problem came and went when re-starting.
The v3.0.2 'Firefly' list of updates mentions a change to the tagging system, so I guess that must have broken something.

FYI - sent an e-mail to support with links to this thread and Walter's, so that they can see that the two problems might be related.

Thanks Trog. I'm just glad I took the first picture. When it changed back again I thought
"Yeh baby, I've got you cornered now"

Well it just happened again, but this time i saw and remembered the exact sequence of events.
A: Open FS. Open X11. I dragged the seq module into toolbox. Shutdown FS and then re-opened.
The error was there

B. Shutdown FS again and re-start-the error is gone.
Other factor's maybe to bear in mind:
1: This module is large.
2: I sometime have to work like "point A" because the X11 is so large(i think), it causes a memory issue.
the issue on my CPU is very real: eg: If I am stupid enough to attempt to copy/paste even say, a simple
"Label" module, I'll be waiting for more than 60 seconds before I'm allowed to paste it somewhere.
No s**t. So a lot of the time, while working in the X11, instead of manually copy/pasteing the normal way,
i drag it into a copy/paste folder in the toolbox. Or else, pull the whole module out, save + shutdown,
re-start and work away without the X11 baggage, dragging it back in when done.
Hope that helps in some way. it's all i can think of....

Tested this point to make sure.
Opened the X11 and dragged a stock "Label" module in. Right clicked copy-Took 49 seconds exact.
How's that for "poor synth design"...far to many componants......hhhhmmmmm

Hey Guys, can I ask a favour?
Next time you open your copy of the X11(if you have one) can you try this

So,
billv= 2.33 Quad-core = 49 seconds.
