That's a good point. This is a problem that have already been raised by our 
CodeX users here at Xerox. We have not fixed it because it seldomly happens. 
But I'll give it some more thought. One quick and easy way of doing it is to 
check for a bug with the same subject. This alone is often enough to detect 
duplicate.

Summary:  "Submit" button needs a warning

Original Submission:  Please add a note next to the "SUBMIT" button on the 
"Submit a bug" web page, that asks the user to only press the button one time 
and not click it multiple times, even if it seems like nothing is happening.

About once a week or so I get two identical bugs, one right after the other, 
because someone clicked "SUBMIT", then thought nothing was happening, so they 
clicked it again.  Sometimes if the Internet is particularly slow I get 3 or 
even 4 copies of the same bug!!

It's really, really annoying.

I can't say that anyone would actually read the text but maybe it would help 
cut down on this silliness at least a little bit.

Thanks!

You can edit and customize messages printed on your bug tracker? Wouldn't do 
the job?

Laurent, is there a system to avoid duplicate post (forum spamming was trendy 
on the web, sometimes ago)? If not, do you think we can implement that and add 
it to any forms on Savannah to avoid duplicate posts?
