[MlMt] Tag completion upper/lower case confusion

[Eric Sharakan]

Hi, I have two issues with tag completion, that I suspect might be
variations of the same problem.  These have been plaguing me for months,
but I finally think I've got it characterized well enough to accurately
describe.

The first one is intermittent.  Sometimes, when entering a tag, it seems
that tag completion will take an uppercase character I enter and convert it
to lower case (even if there are no matching tags with the lower case
letter).  For instance, I'm trying to enter "TODO", one of my configured
tags.  The first character I enter is 'T', at which point I'm offered
several completion suggestions, including "TODO".  But if I next type 'O',
what ends up in the field is "tO", not "TO", and no completions are
suggested (as I have no tags that begin with "t").  I can continue typing
the remaining letters of "TODO", but it still thinks I'm entering "tODO"
and will not recognize it as my existing "TODO" tag.

As I said, this happens extremely intermittently.  I believe one trigger is
if I had previously mistyped a tag, and when the warning window pops up
asking if I want to create a new tag, I hit Cancel.  Once in this state,
sometimes leaving MM alone for a while and doing other things clears it;
other times I have to restart MM to get it working right.

The second issue is 100% reproducible for me: say I want to create a new
tag named "tx".  I type a lower case 't', but it is immediately converted
to upper case 'T' and I'm offered my set of completions that start with
"T".  As I said, I have no configured tags that begin with lower case 't'.
The switch to the upper case T persists, so even if I type "tx", I get
"Tx".  This makes it completely impossible for me to enter any new tag that
begins with "t" via this method.

Thanks.
