- When returning to a draft of a new question which does not yet have any tags added, the "Tags" field shows a single tag consisting of an empty string (a little grey box but with no tag name inside it):

- Adding more tags results in an extra empty tag box being added:

Closing the page and coming back to the saved draft by pressing "Ask Question" again results in one of the empty tag boxes disappearing:- > ![Only one empty tag box in the "Tags" field after reloading the draft, along with valid added tags](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/9plr7ujeiz12plap59cgrdu4x33z)
The empty tag box can be removed by clicking its "x", so this appears to be a visual bug only. The question can be successfully posted whether the empty tag box has been removed or not. Either way, the empty tag box does not show up in the posted question, and also does not show up in the "Tags" field when later editing the question.

- This seems to only happen when selecting suggested tags during typing. Clicking on one of the required tags above the "Tags" field does not result in a second empty tag box.
