> It's more likely that the person re-implementing the SSO flow is making a mistake The thread has other people confirming the same behaviour - and the description of the issue (preventing a double-submit of a non-idempotent action) is something most web-focused developers learn in their first year. I don't understand why people assume that the people working at Google/etc are inherently incapable of producing bugs.
