Summary	0008981: Multiple bug submissions
Description	Sometimes, when submitting a bug, it will submit it multiple times. This only happens with Mantis, Other software I use does not have this issue. I assume this is because protection against multiple form submissions are being done in these software.
Steps To Reproduce	This one is a hard to produce, I don't do anything different than try to submit a bug and click the Submit report. After a few seconds I am refreshed to "Vview Issues" screen. I click My View and I see 3 or sometimes 4 of the exact same bug reports.
Additional Information	I have had this happen in both Firefox 2.0 and 3.0...
Tags	No tags attached.

There is one issue to note. If the user reports a bug with an error (e.g. missing a mandatory field), clicking back will still have the button is disabled. Clicking refresh will re-enable the button. I've implemented this for the following forms: Report Issue Report Issue Advanced Update Issue Update Issue Advanced Add Issue Note Better patches are welcome, but I thought this would is a pretty good start.
