When clicking the play button in either the installations tab or the main tab, Minecraft can sometimes open twice, in the same directory and on the same account. I managed to get it to happen first try in the attached video.
I'm not sure if there's something I'm doing wrong, or if there's a specific way to pull this off, but it still happens more than 50% of the time.

Can confirm. The launcher just got an update and after this the game always gets launched twice and you have to close one instance of it.
This never happened to me before.
Thanks for reporting this Henry. It's correct that this happens using the beta release of the launcher, which it shouldn't. If it currently bothers you you can switch to "release" under Settings > General, and de-selecting the opt-in for beta. We'll look in to fix this asap!
You could just close the window
