Unable to select tags beyond the mid C's

+4
−0

I was writing a question today *applause occurs immediately*. When I went to tag it, I was able to select the 'characters' tag just fine. But then I tried to add 'creative-writing', and found that the drop down only extended partway into the C's. Creative-writing wasn't listed. This wouldn't be such an issue if I could type in my own tags... but I can't. Meaning I can only choose tags from the incomplete list. If I try and type in my own tag, clicking on the space for tags just erases what I've typed.

I like that we're keeping the tags limited to the list. That's good. But we've got to have a complete list. :)

That looks like an interesting bug. I guess the whole control should be rewritten, because it's also hard to style. Anyway, it's possible to add a new tag in the meantime, it's just not very intuitive. You need to scroll to the top of the list and there'll be the exact text you typed. When you click on that, it'll add a new tag to the input. Screenshot
