Questions, answered

Do repeated lines increase the chance of being picked?

If “Remove duplicate entries” is off, each repeated line is a separate entry. If it is on, identical trimmed lines are combined into one entry.

What does “Pick each entry at most once” mean?

Selections are made without replacement. When duplicate entries are retained, two separate entries with the same text can still both be picked.
