Duplicate assets in search

Hi

I've tagged an image motel. There's only one image in my assets with that tag.

However when I filter by tag (in the CMS control panel) two identical images are shown.

The image ID is also the same, how come?

Also, when I click the Tags tab in assets the tag motel isn't listed?

I may be losing it, but where do you filter by tag?

Hi

Quick screencast shows it better than I can explain it. https://youtu.be/nWa3FpyQRNA

You're not filtering by tag there, you're searching.

Ah, sorry I used the wrong terminology :)

The outcome is the same, searching for an image displays the same image twice.

It's not causing a problem, but I thought you might like to know about it.

There certainly shouldn't be duplicates. I can't reproduce the problem here, but I'll keep an eye on it.

Hi Drew, just want to report I also have this error. I've found a couple of odd behaviours in the Asset system since upgrading from a pre-asset-system Perch recently (2.4.5 -> 2.7.10).

For me this appears not just when searching/filtering, but even in the default 'all assets' view with no other options. As Stephen also says, the two entries are both linking to the same edit page with the same asset ID.
