New description:

 Unique seem to return the index of the last occurence rather than first
 occurence if len(array)>16

 To reproduce:
 {{{
 v=[0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2]
 w=[0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2]
 }}}
 Only difference between v and w is the two extra values at the end.

 Then:
 {{{
 unique(v,return_index=True)
 unique(w,return_index=True)
 }}}
 Look at the results for both commands:
 {{{
 (array([0, 1, 2]), array([ 0, 10, 15]))

 (array([0, 1, 2]), array([0, 5, 9]))
  }}}
 The two commands should return the same index!

Comment:

 <reformatted description>
 you can enclose code in triple curly brackets, no need to attach a png.

 Looks like a serious bug, should be fixed for the next release.
