First, I'm a plumbing novice. I noticed the toilet bowls in my home continue to fill with water after flushing and they only stop filling when the tank is full. Is this normal behavior? I ask because shortly after flushing, the bowl is full and the continued filling of the bowl is a waste of water since its just emptying out as it fills.

You just need to adjust the water level

I dont see a picture...
Toss that old thing out and replace with a Fluidmaster 400, for about $9.
BTW, your pic is showing up fine now!

The water level was almost to the top of the overflow so I adjusted it to about an inch below the overflow. It still flushes fine and I'm happy with the adjustment. Thank you for all the information. Learned a few things.
If you feel the flush is inadequate, you can raise the level another 1/2 inch, which will give you a bit more water to aid with flushing.
