      1. Go to any course.
      2. Turn editing on.
      3. Add a new activity, and select Forum type.
      4. Do not type in a name for the forum (this will cause client-side validation failure). Scroll down to the bottom and click one of the two Save buttons.
        • EXPECTED: The validation error should show and the browser will probably scroll to it (well when I tried, to slightly below it, but that's a separate issue). If you scroll down to the bottom, the Save buttons are still enabled.
      5. Type in a name for the forum.
      6. Scroll down and click Save and return to course repeatedly, presing the mouse button as fast as you can.
        • EXPECTED: You should probably see the button disable itself visibly before the page reloads.
        • EXPECTED: When the page reloads (showing the course) you should see exactly 1 instance of the new forum.
        • BEFORE FIX: Before this fix, it was usually possible to get 2 instances of the forum (sometimes more).
      7. Create another forum. This time, choose Save and display
        • EXPECTED (no change): The new forum should display instead of the course page. (This is just testing it can still tell which submit button you clicked.)

      It is possible to submit forms in Moodle multiple times if you repeatedly click the submit button.

      This applies to all forms (except when there has been specific action taken to prevent it) but for example, can be seen when adding activities to a course page. If you click the 'Submit and return to website' button multiple times, it will add multiple activities with the same details.
