They are fired as many times as needed.

This mail was sent in 2001, that's only ten years back. Things have

There's no configuration that would explain that behaviour. My guess is
that you have an issue with your trigger function. It would help to know
its content, and your PostgreSQL release.
BTW, this is more a PostgreSQL question, not a pgAdmin one.
