Bulk edit cannot remove a tag with a space in it

For lack of a UI to rename/remove/tidy-up tags, I tried a bulk edit to change the tag "data import" to "dataimport" by adding the latter tag and removing the former.

But the bulk edit doesn't remove the former tag, whether or not I include the double-quotes.

(When I include the quote characters, it presumably tries to remove a tag containing those quote characters literally in its name. And when I skip them, it presumably tries to remove the tags "data" and "import".)

   You should be able to do what you are trying to do. If you put dataimport in the bulk edit field "Add these tags" and then do data import,in the "Remove these tags", what happens? Does it just silently fail? Adds the tag but doesn't remove the other one?

   What browser are you using? I doubt this is a problem but good to know so we can reproduce your situation as closely as possible.

   It adds the tag but doesn't remove the one with the space in it.

   I'm using Google Chrome 11.x, but yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not browser-dependent.

   I've been able to successfully add an alternate and remove a multiple word tag on our testing environment using Chrome 11.0.696.57. Could you try using a comma after the multiple word? So it would be data import,? I believe this will work for you and I'll make a ticket to look closer at this to figure out where the bug is.

   Thanks,
