The listing of items sometimes repeats in the dropdowns.
I haven't been able to reliably reproduce or understand when/why it is happening. The issue comes and goes but seems to happen at times when the UI feels "sluggish" or slow.
EDIT: Judging from my own screenshots it looks like the repeating starts after 7 items ?
Might look like this in search:
Might look like this in the Item selector:
@Moebeus thanks for the report, do you know if the duplicates appear after clicking more to display the remaining results or directly?
If they appear directly could you check by scrolling down if all the first 7 results are duplicated?
By default only 7 items are searched and shown, more can be displayed only if you hit the more button.
Ah, the plot thickens :) No, this did not happen after clicking "more". BUT! In trying to reproduce just now I noticed something strange. For a split second 7 items render followed by "more" (as one would expect), before 7 duplicates are then inserted, pushing the "more" down accordingly:
Another weird behavior is that you can expand the 7 results without asking for more:
Steps to reproduce:
I could not reproduce the duplicates but it seems to me that the UI behaves differently depending on the timing of the actions you take.
note: same outcome can be obtained if you rapidly add and delete a letter to you search string.
Can you replicate on different skins?

@ovasileva , my team is pretty sure this is a UI issue and not a search backend issue. Is there anyone on your team that can confirm?

Which dropdown is this? Can I confirm this relates to the search inputs at the top of the page on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q56212508 ?

I was unable to replicate this using ?safemode=1 or without. I do know however that the Wikidata overrides the default behaviour (T275251#6852260)

This code does not relate to desktop refresh and in fact will stop working with the roll out of the new Vector. The fix is likely in one of the Wikidata extensions (or maybe even a gadget - there are lots of gadgets interacting with this!)
My recommendation here (Assuming the bug is not a gadget) is to do nothing, and instead focusing on T281318to help us get Wikidata onto the new search interface and API. cc @ovasileva
@Jdlrobson - thank you for looking into this! @MPhamWMF - since this seems wikidata specific, I will go ahead and close this. The issue should be fixed with the changes in T281318: [EPIC] Enable new Codex Typeahead search on Wikidata.org. cc: @sdkim
That autocomplete is not the default one for Vector, so this might be another issue inside the WIkidata extension that's worth looking into separately.
I'm still having trouble to reproduce this. Do you still notice this happening occasionally? Also, have you seen it happening with the new search in Vector-2022?
I think we did something related to this a while ago, but I fail to remember any details :/.
