People view showing some users multiple times and others not at all

gg flag

I'm seeing some weird behavior in the build-in People view and I'm going to try to explain it.

There are 168 users in my site. If I change the view to show them all (and not paginate), it shows them all fine. If I revert to default pagination (50 per page), it still shows a total of 168 records across 4 pages, but some users are duplicated and others left out.

In trying to understand what is happening, I took the query and ran it directly on my database ...

SELECT users_field_data.uid
FROM users_field_data users_field_data
WHERE (users_field_data.default_langcode = '1') AND (users_field_data.uid != '0')
ORDER BY users_field_data.created DESC
LIMIT 50 OFFSET 0

Changing the offset to 50, 100, 150 simulates pushing the next page button. When I run these queries, some uids (e.g. uid = 101) show up multiple times and some are not present at all.

If I take out the LIMIT 50 OFFSET 0 so that it returns all 168 rows at once, this does not happen. Similarly, if I change the sort to ORDER BY users_field_data.created DESC, this does not happen even if I add the pagination back in.

I copied all the results to Excel and sorted them and below is what I end up with - notice how 101 is present 3 times in the first column but not the second and 45 is not even in the first column. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? I'm at a complete loss.

Thanks!

I cannot reproduce this on a plain Drupal 9 installation. The view on /admin/people does not show duplicates, even when I set the view to show 4 items per page from /admin/structure/views/view/user_admin_people.
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
