Hi DiapDealer,
Glad you found it! It may be a bug in that one release or alternatively, it could be a Debian packager bug as packagers often add in their own patches , or it could be that the Qt version of libxml2 that Qt was compiled against conflicts with that one 2.8.0 version you have. I looked in the change log on the libxml2 site between 2.7.8, and 2.8.0, and from 2.8.0 to 2.9.1 but could not see a specific change that might have caused the problem.
Nice work!
Kevin

So just for laughs, I copied the older libxml2 library (v2.7.8) from my Mint 12 (Ubuntu 11.10) build machine, and lo and behold, the damn thing works! The doubling issue goes away!
Could the 2.8.0 version of libxml2 on Wheezy just be a buggy version?
It'd be no problem to include the older 2.7.8 version with the binary package (the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is already being set) ... but that won't help Wheezy users who might want to build Sigil on their own. Nor would I want to trump newer (and working) versions of libxml2 on newer systems.
Maybe I'll just create a separate, special binary package for Debian Stable and write Wheezy off as insufficient for building Sigil for now. Once Debian Stable moves beyond libxml2 v2.8.0, the problem may fix itself.
