Topic: [Bug/DUPLICATE] Attempt to post with empty title gives unrelated "You can't post the same thread twice" error

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Bug overview description. Omitting the title of a thread may lead to strange "you cannot post the same thread twice in a row" error.
What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected? Forum
What is the expected behavior? Refusal to post the thread, but with a sensible error message like 'missing thread title'
What actual behavior is given instead?
Error page stating "you cannot post the same thread twice in a row", and a display of my previous forum post
Time of incident (if applicable). 2016-11-02 4:45pm
Can you reproduce the bug every time? No
What steps did you take to replicate this bug? I attempted to achieve the same result with this thread. However, in this case, it correctly reported 'title missing'. This was the case both with a 0-length title and a title that was simply a space. May be content-sensitive for some weird reason, then? Or time sensitive.
Errors or other messages returned (if any). See above ^^^^^

Bug was encountered while attempting to post https://e621.net/forum/show/212114 , via the normal 'new topic' link. Content has not changed significantly since adding subject line and successfully posting it.
