Get details of element on web page returns different results on two "identical" setups

Hello everyone
 
I have stumbled upon a weird thing happening in one of my desktop flows.
 
Part of the flow goes to a website and logs in and redirects to the correct page.
On this page it populates a search input box and sends a "Return" key to the front window.
The flow then selects the first element from the search results and extracts an email from the page of the search result.
 
The weird thing is that I have three machines running this desktop flow unattended (I have also tested with attended and the error persists) and for some reason I can get two different results from the exact same data extraction.
The first possible output is the correct one where it returns the "Own Text" of the email element in the web page.
The second output is that it returns the entire HTML code for the element on the Web page, so in my case it is the hyperlink to the email <a href"........ etc.
 
I have checked that the machines are running the same version of PAD 2.47.109 and the same version of chrome with the same extensions installed. I have tried clearing cookies for the website, but the result is the same.
 
How is this possible?
 
I am not able to share my login to emailmeform.com, so it would be hard for anyone to reproduce, but I hope that somebody can give me a lead.
 
 
 
Best regards
Martin

    Should I try to contact Microsoft directly or does anyone have an idea as to what is happening?
