  Subject: some multiple word tags can not be distinguished unless they are unnecessarily added then subtracted from the bookmark dialogue
  
  I captured this screen shot a couple of weeks ago, now is a good time to describe the problem…
  
  
  
  In recent contextx: step (i) at http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/how-to-add-group-shared-highlights-to-a-page-that-is-already-shared-with-the-group-8506#3
  
  > i. add, subtract, add items from the group tag dictionary
  
  The issue here: as multiple word tags are truncated, within the Diigo boomarking dialogue, so it becomes impossible to distinguish between similar tags, for example
  
  * innovation
  * innovation in …
  * innovation in c…
  * manufacturing…
  * manufacturing…
  
  The only workaround:
  
  a. Lucky dip! Click a tag, it might be the one you want, it might not…
  
  b. If you drew the wrong tag from the hat of mystery, put it back, and try to remember the location from where you picked the dud
  
  - remember, lucky people, that the tags are not in alphabetical order ;)
  
  c. lucky dip! if you can remember the spots from which you did _not_ previously pick, pick one of those…

  Postscript, and confession: my screen shot from two weeks ago reminds me that I did, once, figure out how to present the group tag dictionary. So my "never" statement was an overstatement! In truth, I forgot how to do this, and couldn't find my way back. Too many UIs ;)
