For some reason whatever I put in the editor description box it tries to duplicate it toward the top of the course as you will see in this link. Not sure if this is a known bug or not.

As mentioned previously in many topics use excerpt to prevent data duplicacy refer:

Thanks that worked..! I did search for this first. Not sure why I could not find.
So is this a bug and temporary fix until a new release? Reason I ask is the excerpt will not leave much room to build a course description.
Its not a bug, actually if you leave excerpt empty then by default few lines of the content comes in the excerpt. Therefore its recommended to use excerpt field.
