This is an issue in the new ("ooMenu" based) suggester. Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to a random item. 2. Add a statement. 3. Type "state" (as in "stated in"). Wait. Be surprised. What happens: The suggester automatically selects "is in the administrative-territorial entity". Because this does have an alias "state". Unfortunately I can't tell if it was like that with the old suggester. Expected: Don't change what the user entered. Don't blame me, Lydia found this. )-; Please note that this behavior is case-sensitive (which it should not in my opinion, see bug 66715). This issue is probably heavily connected to bug 66715 (exact match not recognized if casing is different) and bug 66437 (auto-completion missing) but should be tracked as a separate issue in my opinion.
