User Roles Duplication (Bug?)
Bit of a strange one. I've just gone to edit user roles for one of my client sites and a lot of the privileges checkboxes are duplicated 3 or 4 times. For some reason it's not all of them but I can't work out a pattern for which ones are and aren't duplicated. It's happening on both local dev and live sites. Very odd...

Any ideas?
Thanks!
How old is the install? There was a bug like this in the past.
Hi Drew,
I think the original site was 2 years old at 2.6.6 before I updated it to the current version about a week ago. This is the first issue I've had since.
Glad it's familiar, any memory of a fix? I'm coming up blank in my search so far.
Thanks.
I think the fix is probably just to remove the duplicates.
Ah, OK.
Do you mean via the database? Would it matter which ones I delete? Isn't there some kind of link table holding the roles and privileges together?
Sorry, lots of questions at once! The privileges are working when any of them are ticked so it may be a case of letting it be.
If you delete the wrong ones you'd just need to re-check them. It's not a big deal.
Right, I'll give that a go, thanks for the help!
