Other comments

With some versions of the combobox props, this behaviour also occurs if the field is cleared with the Escape key.

Some combinations of props/slots exhibit the behaviour where a duplicate tag is added will result in no tag being added and some where the duplicate existing tag is removed. Seems related.

Hi @jsdbroughton, I was looking at the source code for the combobox, and the intention seems clear. It's not meant to allow duplicated values.

I went to look for the documentation and the description of the Combobox and here's the description:

This is therefore a feature request, not a bug report.

That intention is indeed clear. The fact a user may be 'punished' under certain circumstances for entering a duplicate value by having both removed seems buggy more than a feature to be removed.
