today I discovered a strange behaviour of the style numeric-comp. Since I'm working with larger cite lists it happend that a reference is twice in the list which results that only the first reference is cited.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=numeric-comp,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\listfiles

\begin{document}
\section{foo}
This works:
\cite{companion,knuth:ct,knuth:ct:a,knuth:ct:b,knuth:ct:c}

This is how to damage it:
\cite{knuth:ct:c,companion,knuth:ct,knuth:ct:a,knuth:ct:b,knuth:ct:c}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

enter image description here Shouldn't be the output also [1-5] if I use that second cite command?

    @Freude When you say 'newest' I suspect you mean 'latest included in Ubuntu': that's a very different thing. If you add \listfiles to your input, what version is given for biblatex in the 'File list' (in the .log)?

    The output is as expected here as well (biblatex 2.8a, Biber 1.8).

    Yep. Your biblatex is very old, it's v1.7 from back in 2011; the current version is 2.8a. You need to update

    This question appears to be off-topic because it is about an outdated version of the package (the issue could not be reproduced with the current version of biblatex)?
