Automatic duplicate detection doesn't automatically display duplicate when I click "show duplicate"


Hi!Lately I've been getting frustrated in the following situation:When I add a vocab item for a different meaning than the one I've already added, I get a duplicate warning, and I want to add (1), (2) etc. so I know I have to pay close attention to the example sentence (different field). I remember that earlier, clicking the "show duplicate" (or whatever it is in English, oops) would automatically show the already existing note in a new window. Nowadays (for some months?), the top field shows"dupe: random number,duplicate field content"example: "dupe: 2345293412341,pendeo"but no note is shown. Navigating to the field and hitting enter doesn't show it, either. I have to manually delete everything except for the duplicate field content (example: pendeo) in order to see and modify the already existing note. This is a bit frustrating! Especially because I remember that in the past, "show duplicate" immediately showed the duplicate :(I searched the manual and this sub, but haven't found anything (if I've overlooked it, I'd be very thankful for the link!); is this a bug? Should I re-install anki (even though I just recently installed an update)? Do I have too many notes (unlikely, but who knows)? What could be the cause of this? Should I contact tech support directly?​Thanks in advance!
