Description
Tried to add a University department in a freetag autoadd field -- "School of Arts, Languages, and Literature" -- and it wouldn't accept it. Turns out that commas have some special meaning in these fields. I would really, really appreciate if someone could tell me how to disable this 'feature' with a quick patch. Thanks
#1
Multiple terms in the autocomplete are separated with commas. If you have a comma within one term name, you have to put quotes around the term name. I tested it with "School of Arts, Languages, and Literature" and it does work for me.

Ok thanks, that's one way around it. I'm actually allowing the end users to type in the term (and have it created if it doesn't exist) so asking them to add the quotes is possible, but not really ideal.
I'll turn this into a feature request: allow the website admin to choose how commas are processed (e.g. include a checkbox in the module settings - option 1 (default): terms are separated by commas, option 2: commas are part of the term name).
#3
maybe the active tags (http://drupal.org/project/active_tags) integration might help you
it extends the autocomplete so that no commas are necessary

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked out the module and it seemed like a good solution; however, after testing, it also considers comma as a term separator.
