Last Barcode Scanned in Checkout Screen is Transferred to Items Screen in Square POS

I use the second gen Square Stand. When I use a barcode scanner to scan a barcode for a purchase transaction in the checkout part of Square POS, the last item scanned from that transaction would show up when I switch over to the Items screen? What's up with that?

Hi @PlantSellerYEG, thanks for flagging this.

That sounds strange. Did this just start happening recently? Would you be able to share a video of it happening so that I can get a better understanding of how best to proceed here?

Also, please check if the app is running the most recent version of the software in the App Store- sometimes older versions can not function as intended.

I have noticed this issue as well. It's not a huge problem, but definitely a bit of a nuisance.
