Steps to reproduce the issue

1- Activate the "Content - Load Module" plugin
2- Disable all frontend template except one
3- Go inside a module and try to type a custom position in the "position" field

Expected result

Normally you should be able to type anything here to search for a position or create one. In this case to be able to load a module inside an article by creating a custom position like explained in the doc here https://docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_put_a_module_inside_an_article%3F.

Actual result

The search field in the dropdown doesn't appear because the dropdown is too short. In my case I have a custom template with 4 positions, and all other templates are disabled. So the dropdown doesn't show the search field. It's indeed impossible to create a position because there is no text field to write it.

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 3.4.5

Additional comments

To resolve this the position field must always show the search field even if there is 0 positions in the dropdown. It's a simple option on the JS when creating dropdown from select input.

If I remember correctly this is a known issue when you have 4 or less
modules
