Change configuration once, and gets multiple config change history

I work with a Jenkins server in which JobConfigHistory plugin is installed. This server has been used for a while, and I think many other plugins are installed as well.

On this server, I get multiple config change history recorded when I make a change to job configuration. I don't want this behavior; I want only single history change for a single configuration change.

I guess some Jenkins server config or some installed plugin is the cause of this problem, but I have no clue what I should do to find it out.

Any idea?

There is a Jenkins issue that has been resolved recently:

[JENKINS-22224] one job configuration change results in three Job Config History entries.

But:

We are seeing a general problem here - some of the plugins appear (parameterizedTrigger, ThrottleConcurrentbuilds, NodeLabel, ExtendedChoice are current suspects) to do this too - we are now having as many as 8 (!!) saves in the config. For some plugins, it seems that when there is no change, they save a no-diff config. Almost as if each is doing their own save in order.

We are not using disk-usage plugin anymore, cause it's so slow, but I still see this behaviour. So it's definitely not restricted to disk-usage plugin alone....

The plugin persists the changes whenever the configurable entity is saved regardless there is any change or not. Note there is a global option for the plugin Do not save duplicate history to save only unique changes.
