Double closed captions

This started a few weeks ago ...

 

When playing a MKV with Closed Captions embedded, I have been getting a double CC effect on screen.

 

You can see from the attached file that the subtitle ("Captioning made possible by Warner Brothers") is being drawn twice, over top one another, and oddly enough in different sized fonts. 

 

This doesn't happen with VOB subtitles (I can switch between the two in the same file).  

This doesn't happen when played via the web page or the Roku.

 

The Fire TV log file has been sent.

When you say "embedded" do you mean the subs are actually a part of the video (burned in)?

No, I do not.

 

I mean they are not a separate SRT file, but integrated with the MKV  (as a dynamically on/off "track").

 

Which is why I switch from the Caption subtitle "track" to the VOB subtitle "track".

 

They are, however, marked/flagged  as the default subtitle "track"
