Inconvenience of the new tag-editing field

Issue #2398 open
Former user created an issue

The new BibSonomy 3 layout provides a new input field where tags are becomming blue. There are several drawbacks

  • the user can only delete but not edit a tag
  • writing a long tagname causes an invisible input field to scroll and effectively crop the input
  • the margins of the tag boxes are not set properly. Tags in separate lines overlap.

    I would suggest to make the behaviour of the edit tags fields uniform. But I would still use the tags input library (http://timschlechter.github.io/bootstrap-tagsinput/examples/) to render tag input fields. It's easier to understand what a tag is and on this way the user does not need any knowledge about tag delimiters. Also it is a typical way to handle with tags on applications.

    The Problems:

    • Edit a tag: the user can remove a tag and write a new one without typos. That's ok, we're talking about one tag (just one word) and not a novel
    • Invisible input field crops the input: That's a problem of typeahead.js (developed for Bootstrap 2), but there is a new version of this script that is ready to use with Bootstrap 3. I will improve the behaviour of this issue.
    • Tags in separate lines overlaps: That's maybe an issue that only causes in some browsers. I didn't found an issue like that yet. I will check and solve the problem.
