I'm in the process of testing this module for use on a site I'm working on. I was specifically looking for an easier way to move terms and all was good until I ran into an issue due to having multiple terms with the same name. To move a term under another parent term like "Foo Bar" and there are multiple "Foo Bar" terms in the vocabulary (hierarchy in my case), you can't select which "Foo Bar" term to move it to since the autocomplete field only returned the first matched term by name (though there were multiple terms with the same name). In my case I kept moving my terms to the wrong "Foo Bar". To fix I had to go and edit the term under the wrong "Foo Bar" using the default taxonomy editor and select the correct parent using the pull-down menu.

Version: 5.x-1.1 » 6.x-2.2
Component: User interface » Code
Priority: Normal » Critical

the issue can be reproduced,

if i enter the term-id:[id_of_second_term] than the term to be moved is gone, this is a dataloss (dataloss i always rate critical).

any ideas?

Still this is happening. But you can avoid it by having double tree with same vocabulary with moving.
