presence of drop down menu of tags (suggestions?) prevents use of Submit button - 61 views

  I'm not sure whether this is a bug, or behaviour by design:†
  
  * when the menu of tags is present, the Submit button will not react to clicks.

  = Workarounds =
  
  1. Type tags very fast - so much so that the menu has no time to appear.
  
  2. In your series of tags, make the ultimate entry a word that causes the menu to disappear.
  
  The second workaround is easier.
  
  Thanks for all the attention :)

  † If by design, then the design might be better ;) … if (for example) submission is denied when tag dictionary criteria are not met, then make explicit the reason for denial - when the denial occurs.

  According to the information panel at a Group Tag Dictionary page, the *positive* intention is to *encourage*:
  
  >> Option 3: The group owner can pre-define a set of group tags to encourage consistency.
  
  (neither _enforce consistency_ nor _prevent submission_, both of which are *negative*).
  
  So, for as long as the effect 'feels' negative, I tend to view this as a bug.

  We fixed the javscript bug. You can refresh the group page and test it.
  
  Thanks.

  Fix confirmed: the 'Submit' button does now respond to a click even when the menu of suggested tags is present.
  
  Thanks!
