Description

When editing the watchers list on an issue, if you search for a user, click their name but do not click "Add", and then perform a new search, the clicked contact is lost.

It would be more intuitive if checked watchers were not lost by doing a new search. The search could filter the user list client-side instead of requiring server round trips, and this would prevent the clicked contacts from being lost.

+1 in 2.6.0

I think it would be good if either the system "remembers" previously checked options or the system adds or removes watchers in "real-time" as the user is clicking.

I tested the patch from #17071#note-1 (which is two years old) and it fixes the issue. When will it be applied?

btw: that is a good example where the select2 widget could provide a elegant solution https://select2.github.io/examples.html#multiple
