Bug: Duplicates actors when you add new actors.

The show is "Dirty Sexy Money"

To try and stop this from happening on a another show, I simply removed all the actors for it (3 of them on this title) and then tried to re-add them all. It instead removed the "Suggest an edit" entirely as you can see here. It seems it actually hides the "See more" button which is required to click before you can "suggest an edit". So any shows or films that are blank can't be filled in right now.

I've added it to a private list so I can fix the actors when you resolve it.

Really sorry about this bug! But I think we've got it fixed now ... adding actors and other filmmakers to a title should no longer result in the duplicates that you've reported.

Please let us know if this continues to present a problem, and we'll look into it right away!

This happened when adding actors for these shows too. It made a separate "Kim Nam-gil". They need merging.

Also, there is still the small glitch in that if a title has no actor/writer etc data and the user *hasn't* clicked "see more" (and had it set as their default setting) they cannot actually edit any shows details, it looks like this:

Sorry for triple post, but I just added "Christopher Lee" to Shaka Zulu (1986).

It did this:

Why didn't it add to Christopher Lee? Why did it make a new one?

It makes me wonder how often this has been happening in other circumstances

Yeah, it shouldn't be creating additional actors, when there is already an actor with that name. We do usually catch these while doing moderation -- so, it's the kind of thing that will look broken from the time you submit the new name, until we get eyes on it. But it shouldn't be happening in the first place. We'll take another look!

It's also done it here. Actor is in both Island, and Song of the Bandits.

It seems to be happening all the time now. I don't want to add anything for fear of just mass-creating duplicate actors.
