editing from source from search panel creates duplicate sequences

I am on a mac mini m4

Sequoia 15.5

Premiere pro production on 25.3.0 (build 84)

When I search for text in a transcript from the search panel, I will right-click the relevant search result and "open in source monitor". Then, if I cut into my working sequence from there, it creates a duplicate sequence that I am unable to remove.

• If I erase, it will erase everything I cut into my working sequence.
• I try to reassociate, and nothing happens
• If I drag the duplicate sequences into the project I am trying to reassociate to, they will all disappear if I select "Consolidate duplicates"
• However, I cannot move them from the project where they are duplicated. If I drag them out, they will only duplicate to the other project.
• I tried taking the working sequence AND duplicate sequences into the same project I am trying to reassociate to, consolidate duplicates, they disappear. Then try to drag the working sequence back out to the original project, it repopulates the duplicated sequence in that project.
