What are these multiple bars on the chart?

My ESU8 233-Trades chart prints funny multiple bars from time to time and it makes the chart hard to understand. Can you explain this to me and help me with a solution to eliminate this confusion? I am also including my NQU8 chart. I have indicated the problem areas with green ellipses on the charts.

In most cases the first bar in the series has a time like 19:49:44 and the remaining bars all have time stamp 19:50:00. Or the first bar is time stamped 20:00:56 and the other bars are time stamped 20:01:00. These are not the only times these problems print, they are only examples from today. Note that I have four charts up: ES, NQ, RTY, and YM and they all seem to pause a second or two then all print a series of bars coincidentally.
