Test:
Export deck, then immediately import the file afterwards. Deck contains cards with whitespaces and that are not preserved during export, causing Anki to believe they’re new cards and creating them when importing again.
Why is this important?
Anki doesn’t give much control when it comes to card modification beyond the find/replace. So I tend to export my cards, modify them elsewhere and import them back again. Some cards however have and trailing spaces (since I paste from online a lot), this causes importing issues.
