See this video that was posted earlier in the thread:

See how the field becomes a different color and the text "disappears"?

Thanks,
Brian.

When the text "disappears" try grabbing the UI and move it to the side to see if the text box underneath.

I tried "moving" the tag window; it appears fixed in place.  So I grabbed the title bar of the main MC window and moved it.  Everything stayed together.  There was nothing underneath. 

But I run MC maximized all the time.  It's in a window, but that window is in some special state.  (I know it's "special" because MC toggles between maximized and windowed when you double click the title bar.  Or when you drag it from a maximized state, it goes windowed.) 

So I got it to a window (not maximized) and tried again.  ...and again and again.  It took me quite a few tries because when you rapidly move the MC window, it wants to maximize again.

But I finally got it to happen.  Bob is correct!  In my particular sequence of events, the editing dialog is behind the main MC window.  Disembodied like a floating finger or arm or something.  All by itself.  So weird.

I have trouble reproducing this bug in the "normal" way like English Tiger does. ...and I always run maximized so I'm unlikely to be able to move the window when it happens.  Hopefully someone else can have it happen and move the window.

Or perhaps we can get a MC release sometime soon with the fix that you've implemented?  Then we can test that one to see if it happens.

Thanks,
Brian.

Bob - when I tried to move the UI to the side, like blgentry the only place I could grab hold of the UI was at/or close to the top of the UI. Every time I did that, I spotted that the open tag closed and dragging the UI to the side resulted in it reducing down to the minimum size specified in the skin.xml plus that was the only window visible/present on the desktop.

Grabbing by the header is the normal way to move the window so that's fine.
The time to move it is when the problem has been generated. The easiest way to do that is to get into tagging mode for a track, click on a field to bring up the edit box, then click on the same track in the track list again. Where the edit box was then goes blank. Move the UI and you should see the edit box underneath.
