Epic Games Launcher is acting strangely

Summary

Yesterday, I got notification that one of my purchased Fab plugins, Metahuman Animation Tool (MAT), had an update. After updating, I clicked on the Add to Project button, but instead of doing so, the launcher created a copy of my project called FAB_MAT57. I sent an email to the dev letting them know and I also attempted to notify Epic Games through their support chat. This morning I saw that MAT had another update and I thought that it had been fixed, but no, a copy of my project was once again created. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior and is there a fix? I tried all the usual “user error” fixes (logging in/out, etc.), but no go.

What type of bug are you experiencing?
