I’ve encountered exactly this behavior on a site where we recently installed Sticky Side Buttons. I don’t run the entire site so I can’t disable all the other plugins but here’s what happened.

A colleague installed the plugin and set up four text buttons for Join, Give, Email, Facebook.

I decided to work on the colors a bit and deleted the Facebook button when I started work.

I altered the colors of background and text and then decided to add icons. I added an icon for the email button fa-envelope.

Then I added a new button for Facebook, set the colors and the icon, and when I clicked Save the email button changed to an exact copy of the Facebook button. I tried changing the text and icon on the email button, but saving made it a copy of the Facebook button again.

If I deleted the fourth button since I now had 2 Facebook buttons and decided to try adding the email button in as the fourth button. Doing so changed the Facebook button into a copy of the email button so that I then had two email buttons.

We definitely had four buttons at the start and the third and fourth were for email and facebook, so I’m not sure why adding a fourth button now causes the third button to become a copy of the fourth.

(Did a bit more testing and now I have 4 buttons as I want. One my first attempt, when the duplication occured, I would click “New button” then drag the button into the position I wanted, third or fourth in the list. But if I click “New Button”, leave the button first in the list and complete the info for it, then save, the duplication does not occur. I can then drag the button to the point in the list where I want it. Perhaps the duplication has something to do with moving the button before saving it?)
