Research direction
Investigate the sidebar component in the Focalboard web app. The issue suggests that the same board appears multiple times in the left sidebar. Look for the logic that retrieves and filters boards, likely in a React component or a custom hook. Check for any missing deduplication after permissions updates. The bug may be in the board list state management or in how the permission changes trigger re fetching without clearing duplicates.
