Submit Button not working

Everything works fine until I add a submit button. Can someone tell me what is the problem with this dashboard.

Not getting any error message but Submit button simply doesn't work. When I change options in the input controls sometimes it is just submitted to the panel without pressing the submit button and sometime doesn't event after pressing the submit button.

<form>
  <label>Test Dashboard</label>
  <fieldset autoRun="false" submitButton="true">
    <input type="text" token="kwsearch">
      <label>Keyword</label>
      <change>
        <eval token="form.result">if($form.exact$=="0","*".$form.kwsearch$."*",$form.kwsearch$)</eval>
      </change>
    </input>
    <input type="radio" token="exact">
      <label>Exact Match</label>
      <choice value="0">False</choice>
      <choice value="1">True</choice>
      <default>0</default>
      <initialValue>0</initialValue>
      <change>
        <eval token="form.result">if($form.exact$=="0","*".$form.kwsearch$."*",$form.kwsearch$)</eval>
      </change>
    </input>
    <input type="text" token="result">
      <label>Result</label>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>Results=== $form.result$       exact===$form.exact|s$</title>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>| makeresults | fields - _time | eval Product="$form.result$" | table Product</query>
          <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="count">10</option>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

@nabeel652 refer to some of my previous answers for Submit Button behavior with reference to Default Token Model and Submitted Token model. Hope it clarifies the concept and proper user case and workaround.
