Page pre-controller is getting called on form submit

System

Hi

I have implemented a controller call on a form submit. Weirdly a page pre-controller configured on the same page is also getting called on the form submit. is this normal or am i missing something? if it is then is there a way to avoid the pre-controller call.

That is correct behavior. When a page is viewed, site controller for that site is executed first, then page controller for that page, then component controllers if a component needs to be rendered, or component that is not cached or component that is the target of a submit. Post page controller and post site controllers are executed as well after the client receives the page.
