I have sent you a PM requesting a screenshot of your settings to try and reproduce the behaviour you are seeing.

There is no guarantee that items in a weighted list will be unique. In your situation (all items weighted the same) they all have an equal chance of being generated for each row. Meaning that even if a value has been used it still has a chance to show up again.

Weighted lists do not have the "Set Unique" option.

I would suggest using the Regular Expression generator as follows:

Check the "Set Unique" box
Uncheck the "Allow null values" box
In the text area for the regular expression type your values in parenthesis separated with pipes like so:
(Value1|Value2|Value3|Value4|Value5|Value6|Value7|Value8|Value9|Value10)

That should do the trick.
