surely this is a bug, right? Or a setting that changed in a recent update? I know this didn’t do this in previous versions. When I’m typing in tags, I have to click into the box every single time i want to type a new one. Is there a setting I am missing? ---

This is not an easy one, because if configured the tags are added to name of file, which causes a reload of the component and loosing focus of TagSelector… ---
