Removed some duplicate text from the issue. Probably coming from copy-paste from JC item.

I can confirm this issue on latest staging

Is this for 2.5 or 3.3?

@aDaneInSpain 3.3staging

It is for 3, I can see. And it also affects if you try to create any position that is shorter than any of the existing positions (custom or not).

So you can not create a position called "Bread" as there is already a "Breadcrumbs" and you can not create a "Nav" as there is already a "Navigation".

But you CAN create "Breadcrumbs_long" or "Navigation1" as they are longer than the existing entries. The problem is that the existing entries gets selected upon hitting enter instead of a new one being created.

I would venture to say that this is expected behaviour, as if this is "fixed" you are no longer able to type "Bread" and have "Breadcrumbs" selected by hitting enter.

I propose instead that the solution is to have a button that opens a modal that allows you to create new position, or move the "Positions" to its own list/form view setup.

@test I can confirm this issue Joomla 3.3.7dev Apache+mod_php MySql.

I have tested this and it adds a new position if you move away (with mouse) from the dropdown list, so none of the options below are selected. Then when you press enter you create new position. So the problem is when you are typing and one of the options are selected.

what if we always put this option in the list as a button.

so when clicked it creates new one...

I think that would be the best solution.

Agreed - that is the best solution.

@Kixo are you able to contribute the code for that - sounds like a good solution

I am sorry but I am very bad with time lately (deadlines) so I cannot solve this one any time soon...

Hi you created this issue sometime ago but have not provided any code for people to evaluate. As no one else has shown any interest in providing the code and you have not then I am closing this issue at this time. If code is provided (a pull request) it can always be re-examined.
