Test button within CQA give the right answer without any repeats. The repeats only happen in the QnA bot once deployed with CQA "Create a Bot".

    I found the issue was caused by the short answer feature.
    Solved it by setting "EnablePreciseAnswer" to false on Azure Portal for the bot app.
    Strongly suggest MS disable short answer by default.
