Our library (on version 18.05.10) has also experienced double fines. We also 
cannot figure out what the pattern is! The last time it happened, a patron had 
2 items go into "Long Overdue (Lost)" status (which is done automatically by 
the long overdue cron job). They had already accrued their max fines. Upon 
return a few weeks later, the fines were doubled up.

We also have CalculateFinesOnReturn enabled and suspect that may be the cause? 
I hesitate to turn it off, though, as I don't understand what the repercussions 
might be.

And we have also had other instances that seem similar (items go Long 
Overdue/Lost and have accrued max fines) but upon return, they do not double up 
on fines.

I'm not sure what other info may be helpful for debugging, but I'd be happy to 
provide anything I can.
