[Freeform] Sending forms twice bypasses validation of required fields

In Freeform 2.5.7, checking for required fields works well only the first time I send a form. I will get the error messages as expected. But if I go back to the form and hit “Submit” once again (without changing anything), validation does not work - I see the success message.

(In this case post-data will be saved and - sometimes - E-Mails will be sent, even if some/all required fields are empty.)

This behaviour seems to be new in Freeform 2.5. If I use Freeform 2.4.2, everything works as expected.

Further to this on 2.57/2.5.8 (although it does say ver .2.5.8 in the settings) wont send emails if you miss a required field. Go back (as it tells you to do) complete the field.

No emails are sent.

I can only get email to work if I complete all required fields the first time.

What kind of validation are we talking about?


required="name|email"


onsubmit="some_javascript_function();"

What does the code for the notification template look like? Inlcuding From Name, From Email, etc

I have two forms - it happens on both - here is the shorter form:

{exp:freeform:form form_name="contact_us_form" notify="MY EMAIL ADDRESS" template="contact_us_template" required="name_contact|email_contact|question_contact"}

 <label for="textinput">Name:<span class="required">*</span></label><br />
 <input type="text" id="textinput" name="name_contact" size="25" /><br />

 <label for="textinput">Email:<span class="required">*</span></label><br />
 <input type="text" id="textinput" name="email_contact" size="40" /><br />

 <label for="textareainput">Question:<span class="required">*</span></label> <br />
 <textarea id="textareainput" name="question_contact" rows="10" cols="65"></textarea><br />


 {if captcha}
  <span class="formtext">Please enter the word you see in the image:<span class="required">*</span></span><br />
 <label for="textareainput"> </label>  <label for="textareainput"> </label> <br />
{captcha}<br />
 <label for="textareainput"> </label>
 <input type="text" name="captcha" value="" /><br /><br />{/if}
 
 <label for="textareainput"> </label> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /><br /><br />
 <label for="textareainput"> </label><span class="required">*</span>required
