Conflict with Advanced Custom Fields Wysiwyg field

Hello. I’ve read some of the other conflicts with ACF but I didn’t find my specific issue and wondered if anyone might have a fix.
I’m using the SiteOrigin Page Builder in my normal content window, works fine. However I have a second Advanced Custom Field WYSIWYG window for additional text. When editing it is all working fine (TinyMCE, Add Media, etc.), however when viewing the page it is duplicating the content from the Page Builder where the ACF field is supposed to appear. So I see the Page Builder content twice and don’t see the content from that ACF field at all.
Here is what I am doing in my template to call these elements.

This shows the normal content from the Page Builder

This should show the ACF field, but instead duplicates the Page Builder content.
When I change the ACF field to something instead of WYSIWYG, it outputs fine. When I continue to use the ACF WYSIWYG field and try other widgets in Page Builder, it does the same thing (Visual Composer, Text) – just duplicates the Page Builder content in both places.
Anyone else ever had this issue? Is there a work-around other than not using the ACF WYSIWYG field?
Site is in development and not public, so I can’t supply an URL.
Thanks for your help.

Sorry it stripped my code:
Here is what I am doing in my template to call these elements.
```
the_content();
```
This shows the normal content from the Page Builder
```
echo the_field('custom_field_name');
```

Nevermind. I found my issue.
I am using a function to add content filters to all ACF WYSIWYG fields.
```
apply_filters('the_content')
```
Apparently that is causing the Page Builder content to output in my ACF WYSIWYG fields.

Hi Jberg1
Thanks for reporting and for the details. As far as I know, Page Builder does use the_content to output. I’ll ask one of our developers if they can take a look early next week. I’m not sure we’d be able to offer any hotfix though. Chat then.
