I just added a shoutbox to the forum. I have it set up so it will submit shouts when you press enter. However, I discovered tonight that pressing enter results in the shout being submitted twice. If I don't hit enter and just click "Shout" instead, it only goes through once. I'd like to leave it as is for convenience but don't want duplicate shouts.

Just tested this in TP 1.6.4 beta and it doesn't do it.  Haven't tried it in TP 1.6.3 but will asap.

Wonder if it's something do with the news fader you have running below it.

  Interesting, I have mine set Submit Shout on enter key? No

But it still shouts when hitting the enter or return key. Looks like it's a bug.  You might try setting it to No, and see if it'll only shout once, until we can fix it.

Confirmed, still shouts pressing the enter or return key even when set to "No"

Setting to "Yes" results in the duplicate shout problem mentioned above.  Setting it back to "No" cures the duplicate shout problem, but it doesn't disable the Submit Shout on enter key as it should.

Thanks for the report.

mmm I see the problem: I have never really tested this setting. Has it even been functional?  If so, do you recall what version of TP it was in?

Glad you can see the cause.  Yes it did work, when tino first added it, but I haven't tested it either in last couple of releases, so not sure when it broke.

It seems to be a Javascript function in Tpshout.php.

I do not have experience with Javascript, so not sure why it is not working anymore, but I think we had some javascript related issues some time ago?

Thanks.  I did create an issue for this on GitHub, hopefully tino can take a look when he had a moment.
