Thanks to all who responded to my question.
I suspected that this would be the answer.  I've found that often a station not 
receiving the 73 from me in return, then sends 73 again sometimes until I 
respond in kind with a 73.  And I generally don't use RR73.  

It's not a bug and by design.  

Thanks and 73,Andy, ka2uqw

  Hi Andy...Yes it happens all the time..BY DESIGN, apparently. I find it most 
frustrating and bordering on rude. Technically the return 73 is not required 
for a valid QSO, however it is the polite thing to do. At the very least if 
confirms to your operating partner that all was received. I would like to at 
least see it as an operator option.

 Hello to the group, 
  I am using WSJTx, version 2.5, using the version for Ubuntu 20.04.  When 
operating FT8 and in contact with a station, once that station sends 73 my 
transmit becomes disabled, so my station does not send 73 unless I manually 
send it.  I am using auto sequence.  So, the question is, should my station 
progress automatically to send 73?  I have seen this happen a number of times, 
but not sure if it is happening all the time.  So, I just thought I would ask. 
  73, Andy, ka2uqw
