You are typing it in the wrong window. The new term should be entered in the top tree view.
Flow is this:
- Click on "add new term" in the popup
- this would create an empty placeholder inside the tree view (based on which node you selected)
- Then you type in the new term related text (I believe your keyboard is focused on to this empty placeholder)
- Hit enter
- The new term would be created under the selected node - as per the image its "internal"
- Then double click the newly added term, which would then show up in the bottom textbox.
Finally say OK
Hope this helps.
I see the problem, so the user has to click the tags icon then click Add New Item in order to add items. I.e. they can't just type a new value in the Column input and on saving it will add it to the term set.
