Two draft posts being created at once

• I've searched for any related issues and avoided creating a duplicate issue.

Please give us a description of what happened

When I click on the “copy to a new draft” button, two drafts are created. We need to delete the extra one each time we use this plugin, and sometimes upon trying to delete the duplicate post we get the error "Error in moving the item to Trash".

After testing further it appears this issue only impacts Google Chrome users. Switching to Firefox or Safari results in only one draft post being created as expected. There is an open ticket in the WP support forum confirming this

To Reproduce

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. From the post listings screen in wp-admin (impacts cpts and regular posts), hover over a post and click "Clone".

Expected results

1. Only one draft post is created

Actual results

1. Two draft posts are created
