Hey @swinxx, I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have! Let's squash those bugs together! 🤖

The issue you're experiencing seems to be related to the hashtag selection and creation functionality in Blinko. When you try to create a new hashtag, the selection pop-up for existing hashtags appears, and it defaults to an existing hashtag instead of creating a new one.

This behavior is likely due to how the handlePopTag function processes the input. It uses regular expressions to detect hashtags and might be defaulting to an existing hashtag if the input matches a pattern of an existing one ^[1].

There was a known issue related to hashtag rendering that was fixed in version 0.9.5, which might be related to your problem. You might want to ensure that you are using the latest version of Blinko to see if this resolves the issue ^[2]. If the problem persists, it might require further investigation into how new hashtags are handled in the codebase.

Hi, I have the same issue :
I currently have 2 hashtags in my blinko. When I try to create one, I start by typing the hashtag and when I press the space bar, it changes the word to an existing hashtag.
Example (I writed new hastag and when I press the space bar, it change it) :
