What causes random double posting in comments?

[Pete P]

We have begun to notice random double posting in the comments.  Has anyone seen this before and can share their observations and hopeful solution?

Hi, Pete!

I see we had a similar discussion a couple months back and I also worked a case where it was caused by the plugin failing to initialize mentioned on this other question:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Comments-in-Jira-are-showing-up-twice-duplicate-comments-in-Jira/qaq-p/891177

A part from that, let us know whether these comments are being made directly on the issues or coming through e-mail via mail handler.

If the issue is reproducible, see if the user is clicking the button multiple times - normally Jira wouldn't create a duplicate comment by doing that but other factors could play a role.
