Messaging App in Windows 8 showing duplicate outgoing messages

Lately, the messaging app in Windows 8 has been malfunctioning.  When I send an outgoing message, the original message pops up at the bottom like normal, but it is quickly followed by a duplicate of the same message directly underneath it.  What's going on?

    Same issue. Seems as if its just the app showing the duplicates but they dont appear so to the recieving person... Also seems to be facebook related and I have been using my Android phone for facebook messages too from time to time... Not sure what actually triggered it or how to get rid of it...

    I have this issue. It might have started happening after I installed facebook messenger.

    Same issue.

    Could it have something to do with the double responding Facebook service: the messages pop-up in Messages at the same time as in Chat?
