**Bug: A new User profile entry is being created in the source Users sheet _every time_ the app is re-launched for an already logged-in user**

In order to allow public access to preview the app first without having to Sign in, I initially set the privacy to ‘Public with email’ then specified the Users source sheet, then switch back to ‘Public’ privacy setttings.

As stated above since the changes to ‘Preview As’ when the app is launched I am seeing that a second User profile entry is being created for a user that has already logged in resulting in a second empty User profile for the same user.

possibly related to the latest updates?

Resulting in this:

UPDATE: @Mark definitely a bug, duplicate entries are being created every time the app is relaunched. see below

Hello,  
I confirm.  
I am in Public with Email and the first time I open the application on Desktop, Glide adds a new row while the user is already in the table.

Correction,  
Each time the application is opened, a line is added while the user is already registered

Hello @Rosewebstudio  
No for me it works again.  
Perhaps an empty line or something else in your sheet linked to User Profile. !

Can you have a look on this bug might be related

> [@Filter glitching on profile page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/filter-glitching-on-profile-page/17262):
>
> My app’s URL: [https://medeqpremed.glideapp.io/](https://medeqpremed.glideapp.io/) My app is set up so that it filters to those who have a profile pic. For some reason, when I check the app on the computer, it’s showing anyone who has signed in with email but has not set up a profile. (pic 1) It stays like this for about 3 minutes, then it looks the way it’s suppose to look (pic 2). It’s actually doing it on the computer and the phone.
