So today I encountered something strange while looking at the new Realtime Database interface. While I was testing something which involved the deletion of some data I noticed this:

Basically the node bRqT3dAc5JhNWv0616lawe6w9Ln1 gets deleted by a cloud function with a simple remove()
call on its reference. But as you can see in the video while it is getting deleted a few duplicates appear and get deleted immediately. I tested it for a while but the behavior seems to be random. It also sometimes happens when I try to delete some other node in the database but from the client.
This is why I think this is a visual bug and not a bug in my code:
Since the only thing that has changed recently is the web interface for the database I think that this must be a visual bug, but I am still not 100% certain. Can someone else please confirm if this indeed is just a visual bug?

That indeed looks like a visual glitch that was introduced in a major update to our data viewer that was released a couple of weeks ago. As you said, it doesn't impact the data that is stored or even read, but it is definitely a bug.
From what I heard, our QA team just caught this one late last week too, but just to be certain: can you file a bug report with our support team for it, so they can track it too?
