Describe the bug
When a markdown widget is used inside a object, and that object is used within a list, updating the markdown field will sometimes update the wrong entry inside the list.
To Reproduce
Add two objects to a list, where the second one contains a markdown widget
Remove the first object from the list
Update the markdown within the remaining field
There is now an extra object in the list, that cannot be removed within the UI, and needs the JSON file to be directly modified
Publish content
There is now an extra object in the list only consisting of the markdown value that got updated
Expected behavior
The markdown should update the correct object.

Additional context
This occurs if the markdown's parent object is moved at all within the list. The only way to get around this is to refresh the page after the parent object is moved.
I've tried this with a few other widgets and it's only the markdown that appears to have this behaviour
