Hey I am Hetu, one of the maintainers at Appsmith. This is a great issue for anyone with basic React JS skills looking to start contributing to the repo.

The bug exists in how we trigger the action from the Dropdown Widget. You can contribute by adding a simple check to see if the new selection is the same the the old one. If it is the same, we should not trigger updates or call the action associated with it. Check this out here

Need more guidance while working on this? Feel free to mention me in a comment on this issue and I'll be happy to help you out 😄
