Files and Folders shown twice in Web UI

We have the problem that in some folders, all the files and sub-folders are shown twice in the web user interface, sometimes with conflicting information about the size or modification date, see the following screenshot:

I tried to run occ files:cleanup as well as occ files:scan --path="/user/files/00000 Sales", but it did not change anything.

We had problems with file staying locked, so I enabled memory caching (redis) for content and file locking, and cleared the oc_file_locks table in the database, but that didn’t change some files and folders being shown twice.

How can we fix this?


Nextcloud version: 11.0.3
Operating system and version: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Apache or nginx version: Apache 2.4.18
PHP version (eg, 5.6): 7.0.15
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error?: yes

Can you reliably replicate it? (If so, please outline steps):
Well, every time I visit the folder in the Web UI, I see the fies/folders twice. But I have no idea how to reproduce it in new folders.

The issue you are facing:
It’s very confusing for users of the web interface

The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:
lots of other messages concerning other files (accesses, logins, …), but nothing directly related when I open this folder in the Web UI.

The output of your config.php file in /path/to/nextcloud (make sure you remove any identifiable information!):

Apache’s access.log just logs the request, the error.log doesn’t log anything when refreshing the page.


After my initial search did not find any related issue, I think now I found one:

This delegates to Duplicated files and folders when moving from one shared folder to another (can reproduce it) · Issue #3502 · nextcloud/server · GitHub which sounds reasonable that we ran into the same problem.
