To reproduce this bug (logged in, in Firefox or Chrome): - Go to any item - click add property - type "language" (with all the letters) - from the drop-down list select "language - language of a work" - the value field loads endlessly Note: this doesn't happen with other properties, and it doesn't happen with that one either if you type "lan" only. Maybe there is a conflict between "language" and "official language"?
I can reproduce on my test wiki if i have one property with label "language" and another property with alias "language". If I have just the label "language" property then it works. It's doing multiple ajax requests for both properties.
As a workaround, the property can be selected as P407, i.e. via the ID. This obviously doesn't solve the bug, and we need to check what's going on here.
This happens on all properties, not just language, although I have noticed it more on language than on other ones. The easiest workaround is to click on the three bar icon, select "no value", and then click it again and click "custom value", which resets the field. That being said, we shouldn't have to do that in the first place, it should just load cleanly.
