"groupname (new group)" stored

[lual]

Steps to reproduce

1. Open any of your contacts
2. Click in the Groups Textbox and Type a new Group Name. E.g. "mygroup"
3. A suggestion will appear "mygroup (new group)"
4. If you just hit Enter - everything is as expected, but if you select the suggestion "mygroup (new group)" is stored.

Expected behaviour

"mygroup" should be saved.

Actual behaviour

"mygroup (new group)" was saved.

I can confirm the issue.

I can confirm this issue too.
But I found a possible workaround: After typing the group-name you can press "TAB" and the group is created without the string " (new group)".

thanks for the cool workaround, fapsi!

This is actually a bug in angular-ui. angular-ui/ui-select#1806

Apparently there is already a fix for this which is awaiting review since 9 months... angular-ui/ui-select#1943

The quick 'n dirty fix would be to add something like .replace(' (new group)', '') in the right place.

It seems there is some effort to change it on the way angular-ui/ui-select#1943

@Benestar .replace(' (new group)', '') might be an option, even though we have to respect translations here.

I doubt ui-select will fix this. It doesn't seem maintained anymore (old AngularJS slowly falling apart ☹️ )

[skjnldsv]

@Henni the pr fix in the select repo has been updated all day. Maybe if we cross our fingers! 🙏

[gorn]

I see angular-ui/ui-select#1943 quite active, so there is a hope.

I can confirm that issue on the nextcloud docker image: nextcloud:13.0.0
