Re^5: Could we lose (or turn off)the sidebar during preview? (dups)

Rather complicated for it to account for "a lot" of dups.

And such simplistic re-submit is caught by simplistic protections. It isn't hard to thwart the simplistic detection due to races. But your scenario introduces extra time which makes it less likely to be able to produce an actual dup.

Update: I even re-submitted this reply just to verify that the simplistic detection was working. I indeed got sent to Duplicate Post Warning.

You can further complicate your scenario by adding extra "edit" (and possibly "preview") step(s) after going "Back" and before hitting "Create" again and then it results in near-duplicate nodes. But it also makes it even less likely to account for "a lot" of them.

It will be interesting to see if there is any change in the frequency of duplicate posts made by those that have made the changes to their CSS. UPDATE This duplicate was done as an experiment, it was posted without clicking the create button, it seems to happen to me when I have multiple nodes open and I am writing or previewing a post, moving to another tab and perhaps voting on that node by pressing the Enter key rather than clicking preview / post somehow also changes the focus on the Preview / Create page and the duplicate is created (I think).
