Engine Plays Same Opening Over and Over

Using the latest Firefox, the engines (whether selected as one of the 'personas' or just the regular engine) will play the exact same moves over and over.  It doesn't matter if you click "rematch" or if you click "new game" and then reselect them, or pick a different engine persona/strength and come back.  It's just the exact same moves over and over. It's not just the opening, you can just play the exact same game over and over against them.  Totally broken.

What's going on?  Basically makes practicing your rep with the engine completely useless rn.

How many games have you played? 5? 10? 50?

What level are you playing against?

I find it hard to believe that you are beating the top levels with repeated moves. Please post those scores.

Um, what?  Did I say that I was playing the 'top levels', much less beating them - or any levels, for that matter - and how would it be relevant to whether it's broken?  "It's fine as long as the 3100-rated engine isn't broken."  What?

It's the various 1600-2000 rated engines.  They all do it.

Here, I took a video of it.  I can't post a link, but the youtube video ID is watch?v=NyqMc3-yDco

It will play the exact same moves, every time, forever.  As you can see, the premoving is also broken AF, being interrupted by the opponent's move animations.
