Manually add string to field - removes field content

When i want to add a string to a field like Language, the old string will be removed, even when its not selected.

E.g. the field Language contains the string "German". I click on this field to add a string ", English" to get the new field "German, English". Normally the old string "German" is selected and could be overwritten. But when i press the right arrow key, the old string becomes unselected and i can add something. BUT even when the old string is unselected it will be deleted and only the new typed string is added to this field. So i always have to retype the whole content of the field including additional string.

Sorry don't know how to explain it better way.

It may be because you enabled the "Autocomplete" options for drop-down lists. It does not seem to work very well.
