Steps to reproduce:

- Have some tags. I have a tag `foo`;
- Open note editor, e.g. the Add dialog;
- Focus the tag input field, e.g. by pressing `Ctrl-Shift-T`;
- Type _the full_ tag name, e.g. `foo`. You should see a prompt featuring `foo` among other things, with no entries selected;
- Press `Tab`. Tag `foo` is selected in the prompt above. However, notice that the cursor moves to the beginning of the line for some reason.
- Press `Enter`. Notice how the tag does not get added.

Windows 10 21H2 (OS Build 19044.1586)  
Anki 2.1.51 (cf78a555)⁩⁩, Python 3.9.7 Qt 6.2.2 PyQt 6.2.2

P.S. It would be nice if tag names were vertically aligned inside tag buttons. Also it would be nice if the tag icon would be vertically aligned with the buttons.

Thanks, I’ve added your feedback to [small tag editor suggestions · Issue #1823 · ankitects/anki · GitHub](https://github.com/ankitects/anki/issues/1823)

FWIW, if you press enter after typing the full name (without pressing tab), it does work.
