The Auto biography in edit screen is inserting "undefined" before and after names.

The word "undefined" insertion is new to today.  Or how many days since I last used that feature? not sure.

eta: after I posted the question this previous post showed   https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1629341/what-causes-wikitree-browser-extension-to-insert-undefined

To add further info on situation, I'm just adding cemetery category and while in edit screen, why not hit the Auto biography and spruce it up a bit. Not adding any new sources or info to the profile.

Ian said it might be fixed, but apparently it's come back.

Yes that is the link I added to the post. Will monitor for a few days and see if it stops.  

I'll use the old Bio generator app for now, since I've become too lazy to type the info like we used to. Or will use it if available - it was acting up a couple weeks ago when I tried it.
Oops, sorry I missed that!

This problem looks to be corrected for now.  Testing it yesterday, the "undefined" was still there when the biography first appeared , then after a few seconds it reformatted and dropped the undefined

Retracting the above statement that it is corrected. That was a one-off.  Today it is still inserting the "undefined" and no matter how long I stare at the screen, it does not correct.

Solved - Thank you Ian.  Seems that I had managed to activate two Brower extensions, the original Preview and then the newer. They had different settings, as the newer had the default and the Preview my selections.  Disabling the Preview version has solved the Undefined insertion issue.
