Body

There's a bug where the title of an issue is lost when moving through the "Starting typing to create an item..." flow on a Board. The bug happens when using the keyboard shortcut (Enter) to execute "Create new issue". The flow seems to work fine when I use my mouse to manually click "Create new issue".

I can consistently reproduce this. At first I thought it was a race condition, then I realized it was a keyboard vs. mouse discrepancy. It seems to always happen if I use the keyboard shortcut to create a new issue, and it seems to never happen if I use the mouse to click to create a new issue.

Flow

On a Board, use the bottom "find or create" input

---

Type the name of a new issue you want to create, then quickly hit enter on the keyboard (do not use mouse to click it)

---

Now we have to deal with this popup, choose "Blank issue"

(side note: see https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/161349 where it's impossible to skip this popup if you don't care about templates)

---

Now I land in the blank issue form with my title gone

This has been driving me crazy for a couple days. I hope this gets fixed soon.

Confirming this bug, started happening last week and I though it was a browser issue.

Also +1 to the template screen observation, pointless step if you're not using templates.

I thought my updated issues templates were misconfigured, had to take a look in the projects community to make sure I wasn't dreaming this up. Thanks for posting this. +1
