Dictation on 2018 Macbook creating duplicate phrases

Hi,

I have a new (but refurbished) 2018 MacBook Pro with touchbar. When I use the dictation tool, it duplicates all the phrases I speak in my online email client.


I have tried restarting, turning Siri on and off, turning off dictation and restarting then turning dictation back on again. I tested it in Microsoft Word and the dictation tool does NOT appear to create duplicate phrases there. I also tried another email provider, and the problem DOES happen there.


It looks like it's when I'm using Safari. I tried dictation in Firefox and it does NOT seem to duplicate phrases in my email client there.


If it looks like it happens in Safari, what would be the fix?



MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.14
