[BUG] Swipes are not atomic (seeing profiles I already swiped left or right on)

[ajcm474]

Describe the bug

Periodically I encounter this issue where the profiles visible in search are people I already swiped past a few minutes ago. It doesn't seem to matter whether I swiped left or right (or sent a compliment). In fact I can look at the "given likes" page and see the very profile that comes up first on the search page currently.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have "Also show profiles outside of my preferences once they run out" box checked under search preferences
2. Swipe right or left on several profiles
3. Profile you just saw a few minutes ago shows up again (even if you swiped right on it before)
4. Issue persists after browser update, reboot, and history/cache clearing

Expected behavior

Swipes should be atomic, at least temporarily, meaning that the website/app should remember which profiles I've already seen and shuffle them to the back of the deck, to be shown again after a minimum cooldown period. This wouldn't be too big an issue if it was only left swipes causing it, but if I swipe right on someone and send a message, their profile shouldn't show up in search again until at least one of the following things has happened:

1. A week has passed (or some other reasonable time limit, but certainly not five minutes)
2. I matched with the person and one of us unmatches later

In the case where the person I swiped right on rejects me, their profile should be quietly hidden from my search results the instant the rejection happens, and perhaps removed from my "given likes" page (though I can see an argument for not doing that).

Screenshots

I'd rather not add screenshots as this would violate other users' privacy.

• OS: Linux

Additional context

This doesn't always happen, and seems to be limited to when I have the "Also show profiles outside of my preferences once they run out" box checked, but... not many profiles are visible without that box checked (must not be very many users near me).

Just to add: I also tried both soft refresh, hard refresh, and toggling the "Also show profiles outside of my preferences once they run out" checkbox off and on again.

Update: I swiped right on the profile at the front again, and now it shows up in my "given likes" page twice, albeit with two slightly different names (but it's the same picture) -- perhaps this person updated their profile and one of the profiles I see under "given likes" is the old one? EDIT: starting to think that particular account is a bot, given that the two profiles have wildly different distances from me. EDIT2: but the issue persists regardless (it's not limited to that one duplicate profile).

[ajcm474]

Sorry to message spam, but I noticed an additional aspect of this behavior. It seems to only happen when I click on the picture to view the full profile before I swipe left or right, and at least right now, it consistently happens when I do that, and not when I don't.
