Why did a duplicate post appear

Is there something I might have done wrong causing post #6 in this thread to exist?

Note that I posted and then edited my post #5 but post #6 has both the same original post time as #5 and the same edit time as post #5. Even if I tried, I don't think I could accomplish that by posting the same thing twice (I'm not that fast).

So did I do that by some accident or did a bug in the forum software do it?

Is the forum software programmed to not make a second post if the "submit" button is clicked twice?

This sometimes happens to me when the connection to the site is slow.

Kind regards

But if I caused that hitting submit twice, how did both posts get the same edit at the same later time?

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d-text-934650/ has more information on this. I'll close this thread to keep the discussion on one place. Thanks for the feedback.
