Title: Same taxonomy term not showing when "taxonomy_term_reference" field used in any content type » Multiple taxonomy terms with the same name do not show in the autocomplete widget
Version: 7.34 » 7.x-dev

Better title since this does not require multiple fields or content types to reproduce, just one field that is configured to use autocomplete (I tested it and was able to reproduce it just using the main "Tags" field on the article content type in the standard install profile).

Looks like Drupal 8 fixed this (perhaps inadvertently) as part of #675446: Use jQuery UI Autocomplete:

--- a/core/modules/taxonomy/lib/Drupal/taxonomy/Controller/TermAutocompleteController.php
+++ b/core/modules/taxonomy/lib/Drupal/taxonomy/Controller/TermAutocompleteController.php
@@ -200,7 +200,7 @@ class TermAutocompleteController implements ContainerInjectionInterface {
         if (strpos($name, ',') !== FALSE || strpos($name, '"') !== FALSE) {
           $name = '"' . str_replace('"', '""', $name) . '"';
         }
-        $matches[$prefix . $name] = String::checkPlain($term->label());
+        $matches[] = array('value' => $prefix . $name, 'label' => String::checkPlain($term->label()));
       }
       return $matches;
     }

But that was part of a larger change and it would take more than just that to fix in Drupal 7.

I don't see why this would be considered a critical bug.

Hi David,

Its critical because when my user try to update content then taxonomy id change because of same name of taxonomy term.

As provided patch would work? I think this was made for drupal 8

Thanks,
Ajay

I think we should create a new term reference field autocomplete widget, something like "Autocomplete term widget with term ID (tagging)"
