Post From: Duplicate orders created with a single click when using IB

Dear Support,

I use Sierra with Interactive Brokers (advisor account, SC realtime data displayed, but orders sent to IB to multiple accounts, 'Use Order Fill Calculated Positions' option enabled).
Until now I never had any issue with execution or placing orders.

Now I am randomly encountering with the following problem:

When I place a resting order (limit or stop), there are duplicate orders created.
For example I click on the DOM to place a buy limit order of 2 contracts and 2x2 buy limit orders appear - two separate orders of 2 contracts each.
This happens not just when I place orders with manual clicks on DOM, but when I use trade associated hotkeys, like cancel and flatten all (pending orders are cancelled correctly but duplicate exit order appears).

Unfortunately this problem comes up randomly, although I can provide video record of it.
Can you please advise how can I investigate this problem further or if there is a fix for this?

I am using the exact same setup since many months and never experienced an issue like this (overally I had zero issues with the IB/SC setup - everything works perfectly).
