@TBolliger I have replicated the timing problem on The Good Place, you just have to type very fast.

@dmaza also reported that, in order to select the Main namespace, one has to type "(Main)" with the parentheses - "Main" won't work but probably should.

My fingers must be getting slow in my middle-age... 🐢

Yes, typing in main should show (Main) — and should be true for all languages/translations. I'd even suggest that in the case of local customization (e.g. ENWP changing (Main) to (Article) ) will also support the local customization. But this can be treated as a separate task.

Also — I've identified a potential issue 4) Typing in the namespace number does not show suggestions, but is accepted on return keystroke. This is not a major issue, but my expected behavior would be for the suggestions to show the matching options (e.g. typing 11 will suggest Template talk)

We can treat these all as one Phab task, or 4. If there are no strong opinions now, we can decide at Estimation.

Middle age? hahahaha

I see this as on task since it's focused on the UI interactions in a single form field. But, I'm open to treating it otherwise.

If your fingers aren't fast enough, the bug also occurs if you use a whole word IME on mobile, such as swiping on GBoard.

The problems outlined in the task description have been separated into subtasks:

• 1-2 in T216071
• 3 in T216075
• 4 in T216078
