Bug? or feature?

[Michael Campbell]

I'm adding new card of various types for a given tag, but if I type in
a tag name and switch the card type, the tag name is lost and goes to
some other random tag (or perhaps it's the last one used for that card
type or something).

In any case, it's frustrating. I tend to input cards by subject/tag,
not type, so for my use it should keep the tag I typed in even if I
change card type.

Thoughts?

Indeed, by design the prefilled tag is the last one you used for that
card type. That is the logical choice for scenario's where you have e.g.
one card type for language 1, one card type for language 2, etc..

Can you explain in more detail your use case, i.e. why do you use
different card types each having the same tag?

I tend to input cards by subject matter. If I'm studying one thing,
I tend to input cards for that thing. Some information is best
handled as F-to-B, some cloze.

Card type to me seems a side effect of the fact I'm learning; i.e. how
that fact is best represented. It's subordinate to the fact. And
the fact is subordinate to the subject in which it belongs.

I guess for the next release, I could make you a simple plugin to
achieve this :-)

+1. Like Michael, I use different card types for the same tag, depending on the information to be tested (most often, front-to-back-only and cloze-deletion).

+1 here too.
