Description
Describe the bug
Every other time when creating a duplicate, the option for selecting the module groups is frozen - clicking on the buttons doesn’t change anything. When selecting a module it opens up and I can make changes in the module but they are not reflected in the image.
After a restart everything is back to normal.
Steps to reproduce
happens only from time to time
- Darktable - darkroom
- make changes to an image
- Create duplicate in duplicate manager on left side
- Selecting a module group does not change the list of modules for the group
- Modules can be operated but changes are not reflected in the image
- After restart of darktable behavior as expected

Research direction
Start in darktable's darkroom duplicate manager and trace how selecting module groups updates the module list and how module changes reach the image. Reproduce the intermittent freeze using the listed steps on macOS, then verify that duplicate creation preserves group selection and module changes are reflected without restarting.
