The issue is caused due to the stable anchors which you have created using the UI Designer.
Stable Anchors are not supposed to be create for certain UI Components as QA, for example. If created then solution will give such inconsistencies.

The stable anchor reference should be deleted from the backend as you would be able to see this reference in the UI designer.  Please kindly report an incident for deleting stable anchor.
