Icon Duplications

Almost every time I go back and edit an article with icons in it, these icons duplicate themselves in a strange way which results in a second and giant version to be added in to each instance. For articles that have a lot of icons, I have to comb through each and every icon bbcode to fix the duplications every time I edit. As I'm using it on my illustrated book, there is a lot of times I need to go in and edit these articles and it is very very tedious to have to repeatedly fix this error.

Steps to Reproduce

Essentially I'll add in an icon using bbcode as usual plus whatever more details like color, animation, size etc.:     And this works normally. But if I go back into the same article to edit, it duplicates itself like this:     This happens to each individual icon in the article, making it to where I have to go in and edit out the duplication each time I edit that article. If I don't notice it or edit it out the first time or two, it keeps stacking more and more duplications within the same [section] brackets which looks silly at best or distastrous at worst, creating giant and dysfunctional icons and sometimes even affecting text.

And I'm not sure what you mean by which editor, I'm guessing whatever the default is?

Hello Lee it looks like you are using the WYSIWYG to handle advanced functionality like sections/containers. This editor was never made to handle that and the chances are that it might break your work - but more than that this is a a bit of an extreme case for usage of sections for tens of icons.   I would suggest that you switch to the advanced editor and you check your code for wrongly closed sections.
