Duplicate records for the same event and the same person

When searching for the specific surname I've encountered a lot of records of the same event for one particular person:
https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=20&q.birthLikeDate.from=1847&q.givenName=Anna&q.surname=To%C5%A1ovsk%C3%A1&f.collectionId=1804263

I suppose it could be related to the indexing issue (and its fixes) as I first encountered this in this period.

https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/154143/new-viewer-issue-records-disappear

The only difference seems to be the record ID. Sometimes I can see the reverse order of father/mother. It is weird, but it could signal these records were indexed multiple times by different people, so maybe the indexing/transcribing process is to blame here. It could, by some mistake, generate multiple indexing jobs for the same source.

I am just reporting this to prevent some systematic error.

    Someone else posted about this error last week. Whatever is causing it, it seems to be something new. If your browser is willing to load the image complete with the Feedback tab, then I suggest using that to report the problem; it seems to be the quickest way to contact the people who might know how to fix it. (Unfortunately, Firefox has currently decided that the image is the embodiment of evil and is refusing to finish loading it.)

    Even in Chrome, I get a "Page Unresponsive" on that one after the image loads. That makes the Feedback button inactive. I find Chrome more forgiving (some days) with the viewer.

    It was still problematic around October, but now I can't see duplicities anymore. Thanks for fixing it!
