Bug Description

Not sure if I am catching this right but it seems that if I try to add/remove tags to books that have the same last tag regardless of the anchor tag (UF.UF Series, Paranormal & Urban.UF Series, UF Series) all of the books will add or remove all tags even if I choose a specific one. I realized this almost too late when tags started disappearing when I thought I was deleting duplicates, but ended up deleting all tags that end with UF Series all the way up the line.

In the above tags the browser only sees the last tag and it ignores the previous anchors and just deletes them all from my books regardless if I only want to keep one, or add one. Makes weeding out tags difficult. This is only when books contain more than one tag. So Highlighting three tags to see which books has all three of them, then choosing to remove two of the tags from the highlighted books ends up removing all the tags. And if there are other tags that I didn't highlight but are the same they get removed as well.

Hm. Maybe he's just a bot.
