Server Version#:1.43.0.10492-121068e07

This issue happens when I search for a movie which has a duplicate indicated by the Plex Name +1. If I click on the server name +1 and see two copies, when I click delete from the more menu of one of the copies, it deletes both copies. I expected it to only delete the copy I selected.
