Don’t change shape of entity entry for showing duplicate suggestions

XMLWordPrintable

      Showing suggestions for new entities is great, but the current behaviour is really annoying:

      I copy a title from elsewhere and paste it in the "Name" field, I then want to quickly go to "Sort Name" to paste the same text (because "Guess" essentially doesn’t work for anything other than person names currently, but that’s BB-181 / BB-430 ). If I try to move mouse and click "Sort Name" field to select it, by the time I’ve moved the cursor and click, there will now be a link to a different entity in its place and I get thrown to a completely different page than the entity addition page I was on. If I hesitate a bit too long and tab, the first tab target after "Name" will be the first link in the suggestion list, rather than the "Sort Name", and I will have to tab through the entire list before reaching "Sort Name" (this can be worked around by being fast enough to hit tab before the suggestion list is generated).
