Error in Author Details Page

[kevinjavitz]

Running Mage 2.1.2 and php 7 author details page gives:

Fatal error: Cannot use Sample\News\Model\ImageFactory as ImageFactory because the name is already in use in /var/www/html/magento2/app/code/Sample/News/Helper/Image.php on line 26

This is a bug in PHP when OPcache is not on.

I am running php 5.6.30 via Xampp installed yesterday Feb 22 2017
I had the error on a clean Magento 2.1.5
turned on opcache in the php.ini file and no more error.

The fix did not help me.
Magento 2.1.5
Php 7.0.12
Opcache enabled.

This is what helped:
In Sample/News/Helper/Image.php try change
use Sample\News\Model\ImageFactory;
to
use Sample\News\Model\ImageFactory as MyImageFactory;
and in constructor
ImageFactory $imageFactory,
to
MyImageFactory$imageFactory,
