Symbol Browser Issue - duplicate symbols when redefining

I needed to redefine several symbols in the browser. I used my normal method of right clicking on the symbol in the browser, then follow the steps. When I click on the insertion point, the symbol updates, but it also adds another identical symbol. The new symbol has the same file name and description. I rebooted the computer, DataCad and still getting the issue. Also happening in multiple drawings and on other computers.

Using windows 10

I have seen this, and it seems that one has a slightly different path. I just delete on of them.

Yes that is what I have done too.

There was an update that we just installed for DataCad the other day wonder if it has something to do with this.

It appears to be fixed in DataCAD 21.

Yes we are using the latest version of 20. In fact this issue popped up after updating to the latest version.So maybe that's the issue.
