[bug]: Pressing enter in the labels dropdown creates a new label even if there's one with a matching name

[Wizzerinus]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [x] I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

I expect that pressing enter in the Labels dropdown selects a label if possible, but it creates one instead

Apologies for poor screen cropping

Hi @vihar and @pushya22, would love to work on this issue; i see u two are assigned on most issues (recent) so maybe i could be of a little help ..

@Wizzerinus This issue is occurring because our labels are case-sensitive. When you search using lowercase characters, it creates a new label instead of matching the existing one.

Personally I think it's a bit unintuitive when "enter" does an action that does not happen if you click the currently selected option in the dropdown

Thanks @Wizzerinus. We will try the improve the UX here.

Agree with @Wizzerinus. If I hit enter here it should not create an new "ma" label (current behavior). It should select "mat" If what I've typed doesn't exist as a label there should be a 3rd option that I could click or arrow down to do so.
