Thanks guys

This isn't nessecarily a bug.

What I mean is that, yes, there is a bug which duplicates your display picture in the list from time to time. But it might also be that your display picture has some transparant layer (used or not doesn't matter).

When you have "use the same display picture and personal message wherever I sign in" enabled in Messenger's preferences, it will upload your display picture to its servers. When you sign in again, the display picture is downloaded again. So in this way you will always have the same display picture no matter from where you sign in.

However, this roaming feature of Messenger doesn't support PNG pictures with a transparancy layer and as a result it downloads the picture without the transparant layer. (When this happens and when you actually have transparant pixels in the picture they will show as a black pixel).

This makes that the downloaded picture is actually not the exact same picture as what you had in your display picture list. Hence you end up with two pictures which look the same but actually aren't exactly the same.

So does this mean, somone has loged into my account from a different computer and its come up with two pictures? or does it have nothing to do with anyone hacking me or w.e?

No, it hasn't got anything todo with someone else logging into your account or something.
