Agreed. The behaviour is not exclusive to save and submit button though. Also cancel buttons and regular save buttons perform their respective actions even the user hits "Cancel" in the confirmation dialog.

Users would expect that nothing happens if they hit cancel.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or somehow intended by Nintex so I'd suggest to open a support ticket at Nintex.

I have faced this Issue, below is the workaround.
Default Submit button-set to hidden with CSS class as following

then created button of type- JavaScript and on client click added code to create -custom confirmation dialog

var status= confirm("Do you wish to submit task?");
       if(!status)    { return false;}
       else { // call form Submit button
      NWF$(".customclass").click(); }

If Confirmation dialog returns
1. True then call Submit button click event- NWF$(".myclass").click()
2. False- just returning to current form.

What is the JavaScript to use when a customer clicks the save and submit to generate a unique request ID#? This is the formula that was used for InfoPath, concat("Service name File Name", "-", userName(), number(substring(now(), 6, 2)), number(substring(now(), 9, 2)), number(substring(now(), 1, 4)), number(substring(now(), 12, 2)), number(substring(now(), 15, 2)), number(substring(now(), 18, 2))). It generates this unique ID: SPS-vhaorlperkic113201782122. So to break this down to make sense: SPS-vhaorlperkic113201782122

strFilename = “Name” in your item below, this is typically the default “Title” column when you create a new list/library

Everything in yellow highlight, is the actual code to create this within InfoPath.

Concat creates the string

“Service name/file name” = SPS

“-“ adds a dash between the Service name/file name: SPS-

“username” = the person that created the entry/request, this is pulled from SP so it is auto generated and cannot be faked: SPS-vhaorlperkic number(substring(now(), 6, 2)), number(substring(now(), 9, 2)), number(substring(now(), 1, 4)), number(substring(now(), 12, 2)), number(substring(now(), 15, 2)), number(substring(now(), 18, 2)) = how we have to code the SP generated current month, day, year, hour, minute, second: SPS-vhaorlperkic113201782122
