This seems to be a bug.
When uploading a file with a send_keys() method in a loop the file is being uploaded twice.
I.e. if you performing send keys 2 times the file file be uploaded 4 time, for 3 iterations 6 files will be uploaded etc.
Currently I see no solution for this issue. F.e. adding a delay inside the loop doesn't resolve it.
I see similar question was already asked but no solution was given there too.
