Doubled question and details
recently I found an increased amount of questions with the question being repeated twice as well as the details sometimes.
is that the users faults or a forum bug?
Back when Qs from new users when into the $$anonymous$$od queue double Q's used to be frequent. They wouldn't see the Q appear on the site, so would repost. Usually there would be a few $$anonymous$$or differences (extra blank line from cut&paste, or they hand retyped the title, rephrasing it.) I suppose any sort of lag could cause the same thing.
If I unterstand you correctly I mean something different, I mean a question asked once but with the text duplicated in the title and the details panel.
I have also noticed this, like the question title contains the question twice. As well as the post sometimes.

Its the way the text boxes are laid out. It seems to appear that the text has not been retained and so the user literally types the question twice. I noticed this a few years back when I was writing a question and fell into the same trap. You often notice that the 'duplicate' is slightly different.
