On a clean install of Drupal 7, duplicate items are created if 'Save' is selected multiple times (clicked obsessively)

I discovered this issue today related to some duplicate content. It appears to be occurring on a clean install of Drupal 7 but does not appear to occur in a clean install of Drupal 8.

when creating a new item, at the '/node/add/content-type' page for any content type, when clicking 'Save' multiple times, multiple duplicate items are created for that content type.

Ideally the save button only allows one submit and all further 'obsessive' clicking is ignored.

Same on 7.82. On the forum, users are clicking save multiple times and it is creating duplicate posts.
