Language and lexical category fields turn red on unfocus when no changes are made
Closed, ResolvedPublic5 Estimated Story Points

Description

Problem:
When tabbing/clicking through the Lexical category and language field of a Lemma on a Lexeme the fields turn red, indicating an error, even though there is none.

Steps to reproduce:

Expected behaviour: No changes are being made to the language and lexical category fields, so nothing should happen when you unfocus (aka blur out of) them.
Actual behaviour: When the fields are unfocused, they turn red, as if there is an error (there does not seem to actually be any errors - edits to the other fields can still be saved).

Acceptance criteria:

  • No errors are indicated if there are in fact no errors

Task inspection note: we could start by checking what code adds the ui-entityselector-input-unrecognized class to the input.

If we continue assuming that this once worked it would be awesome to document a theory why/when this broke - maybe there are other implementations with the same problem.

Seeing the way this had to be fixed in ItemSelectorWrapper.js we have reasons to assume that this didn't break somehow, but has never actually worked correctly.
