Description
Describe the bug
Labels for links on a page are sometimes duplicated for different links. Trying to go to one of the two links fails, as the suffix after the common prefix of the two links is empty.
To Reproduce
Happened to me several times on different pages, can't find a stable way to reproduce.
This time, it was https://habr.com/ru/sandbox/start/, but, as the content on the right side is dynamic, next time the page structure may be different.
