That indicates one or both cylinders have failed.
Under extension there's nothing to control the transfer of fluid from one side of the gland to the other. So the bucket falls and creates vacuum within the cylinder barrel.
Under compression the fluid is put under pressure. The more weight/push you place on the cylinder the more it will collapse and create pressure thru the air that's been introduced thru the valve return to tank line.
I'd flip a coin and remove one cylinder and disassemble it for repair. If I didn't see obvious damage to the gland/rod, I'd disassemble and rebuild the other one. So, have two rebuild kits on hand. They aren't expensive.
