Description
The $ref object inside schema definition is referring to json file with different name then the swagger UI displays duplicate schema definition.
For ex: "order creation response" : {
"$ref" : "#/definitions/order creation"
},
If i change it to the following then there is only one entry.
"order creation response" : {
"$ref" : "#/definitions/order creation response"
},

Reproduce the duplicate schema display in Swagger UI using the supplied $ref examples and compare the two screenshots. Trace the schema-definition rendering path for how differently named $ref targets are handled; done means the example renders a single schema definition without breaking valid references.
