What does this really mean ?

Since it was my first submission for problem A (Packets) in Manthan, Codefest 18 (rated, Div. 1 + Div. 2)

I got solutions to the first 4 problems, but could not submit even one today. Probably my bad luck.

Is there any issue with the System on the CodeForces side ? Did anyone get any similar issue, where you could not submit due to similar problem ( Error being popped up after submission as a notification window at the below right corner of the screen saying ), "You have submitted exactly the same code before"

For what it's worth, in one contest, I accidentally submitted the same code twice in 1 second and lose 50 points, and there was no notification :(.

Did you use Ideone to write the code? Either someone else copied your code there, or you took the code of another person and tried to submit it without any modification.

    No... I'm using Sublime Text on my machine. I was not able to submit because I was getting this error which I mentioned in the question while submitting my code for evaluation. I'm still waiting for a reply from the Codeforces side.

That notification means exactly what it says: you have already submitted that code. It's purpose is to stop you from losing points when you already submitted an AC-ed solution OR if you've sent a wrong solution, it will only increase your penalty for that problem since resubmitting it won't make it correct.

Unfortunately, as in bvd case, if you submit twice before fast enough you won't receive that notification and you will get penalized for nothing.
