Description

It's not uncommon for Typo users to hit the submit button on a comment, and then hit it again. Because the comment box isn't wiped prior to submitting the comment, this often results in the same comment being posted twice.

A fairly trivial solution would be to store the comment text in a Javascript variable, and then refuse any subsequent submits where the text was the same. Sure it could be circumvented, but his would definitely reduce the number of double commits.

It seems like it would be better to disable the submit button while the comment is being processed

Erm, I just realized, we already disable the submit button.

Are there any browsers in which this isn't working?
