I don't get the duplicate dir entries now, either. Closing it barring further input ... thanks.

I cannot reproduce it with v4.13. I'd appreciate any more specific info that would help me reproduce it (in particular, the value of INFOPATH might be of interest).

Subject: info displays top directory multiple times [...]

Hello,

It appears that a bug was introduced between info 4.2 and info 4.7-2
(4.8.1 also has the problem) that is causing the info dir to be repeated 4
times (I can scroll down and see the directory repeated 4 times when
opening the top node).

---

I (karl) observe this with my system too; I don't know about 4 times specifically, I suspect that is a function of how many directories are symlinked to each other or something. But I do the same entry -- same section name, same entry name, same filename -- more than once, which seems like a bug.

Hope someone wants to work on it!
