Tags section hidden on Time Tracker Preferences dialog

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can confirme that, and it still is the case in Ubuntu 12.04.

Does anybody have a workaround for editing tags? My list of defaults has gotten very crowded

Ok, I found the answer to my own question. I used an SQLite database browser/editor to open the hamster.db file located at ~/.local/share/hamster-applet. There is a table there for tags and you can change their display status to false to hide them from the autocomplete dropdown.

Thanks for tip how to resolve those tag problem. Hope, that it will be fixed asap... Really annoying problem.

Same problem exists in 12.10

The same problem with 13.04

It is also possible to aim for the 1pixel height field (the cursor changes to text) and use CTRL-A (select all), CTRL-C (copy) and paste it (CTRL-V) in an editor. After the change you copy the new Tags aim again, CTRL-A, CTRL-V done.

I don't know if that is easier, at least you don't have to edit in-work databases.

Thank you Jan,
I'm capable of editing the database, but this is a lot easier!
Thanks

Problem still exists in 14.04.2...

I'm pretty sure now that the problem only occurs for me as long as I only have a small number of tags (maybe < 5). Now that I created more tags, the field gets displayed fine.

I have much more than 5 number of tags, but problem still exist on Ubuntu 16.04.
There is 5 years of this bug report, and it seems that none of the developers are going to solve this problem.

The change suggested in the following comment on GitHub solved the problem for me without having to edit the database:

Cannot edit tags under 'Categories and Tags' #206
https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/issues/206#issuecomment-103143461

Just change the following line in the "preferences.ui" file for Hamster on Ubuntu 16.04:

$ cd /usr/share/hamster-applet/
$ diff preferences.ui.old preferences.ui
607c607
< <property name="expand">False</property>
---
> <property name="expand">True</property>

Line 607 is found just after the "tags_frame" object:

<object class="GtkFrame" id="tags_frame">
  ...
</object>
<packing>
  <property name="expand">True</property>
  <property name="position">1</property>
