The command is not executed twice.  It is the same terminal session you're
looking at in both top/bottom views.  You don't have to display the same view
top and bottom.  The normal usage is to split the view and then use the tabs to
show different views in each section.  You can use the tabs to switch between
the views shown in each section.

For example, supposing you have two three tabs open:

[Some SSH Connection] [Code Editor] [Debugger]

If you split the view, you will see two tab bars, each displaying these three
tabs.  You can display any of the three tabs in either view, independent of
what is visible in the other one.  For example, [Code Editor] in the top view
and [Debugger] in the bottom one.  Now suppose that you want to enter commands
in [Some SSH Connection] with reference to earlier output from that session. 
You can display [Some SSH Connection] in both top and bottom views, with the
top view scrolled up to show earlier output which you can then read or
copy/paste etc. while entering commands where the prompt is in the bottom view.
 You can then change the tabs back to [Code Editor] / [Debugger] when you're
done.
