I know I've seen some specific cases where the tasks will repeat,
however I'm a bit fuzzy on what you're describing exactly.

Please provide detailed steps for how to repeat the situation where the
multiple tasks appear.  This may take some experimentation to figure out
what steps result in this.  It can be helpful if you start from running
scripts/debug.sh and then identify all the steps you do (what you click
on, etc.) that results in the condition.  This also greatly helps
developers in reproducing the issue and figuring out what went wrong.

If you find it is impossible to reproduce the problem when starting from
scripts/debug.sh, it may be something particular to your tasks list, so
your bug report should include a copy of your tasks xml file.  Since you
may have personal information there, you can anonymize it:  in the trunk
codebase is a tool scripts/anonymize_task_file.py which does this.

A screenshot could perhaps help as well.

It is also valuable if you can try reproducing the issue using the gtg
trunk codebase.  This is because that is what the developers currently
focus on, so if your issue is reproducible there it may get higher
attention.

Also, note that there has been a lot of work going on to make a new task
tree data structure (called liblarch), which is intended to fix a lot of
these kinds of weird tree issues (phantom tasks, duplicate tasks,
parent/child incorrect behaviors, and so on).  So perhaps you will want
to wait until that work has landed (probably some time this month I
guess) before investing a lot of your time into testing the current
trunk codebase, since it's going to change quite significantly after
that.

Bug description:
(Cleaning some old notes of mine)

This was while using GTG 2.4.0 from the daily ppa.

(This description is a bit imprecise, I hope you will figure out what I mean, sorry)

When, having a lot of tasks, many of them being structured with subtasks, each using one or more tag labels, selecting a particular label for display might repeat a given task many times in the produced listing.  The repeats are non-consecutive.  This is when *not* using the "Vue de travail" display (Work view?).

When there are many tasks to start with, this multiplication of many of them makes for a fairly long listing, which is quite confusing, and consequently, not really usable.
