Strange: cell execution increments by 2

Harmless but disturbing strange behavior: my notebooks started showing cell numbers that increment by 2… The first cell executed is [2], then [4], etc. Anyone seen this before? Can I fix it?

Selected Jupyter core packages...
IPython          : 8.27.0
ipykernel        : 6.28.0
ipywidgets       : 8.1.2

jupyter_server   : 2.14.1
jupyterlab       : 4.2.5
nbclient         : 0.8.0
nbconvert        : 7.10.0
nbformat         : 5.9.2

qtconsole        : 5.5.1

Ooh I found a duplicate entry of this issue, and it seems the Anaconda assistant extension is the culprit?

Solved. Disabling the @anaconda/assistant did it. Sorry for the noise, everybody!

Hi Lorena, glad you figured it out!
