adding a new tag with a already existing key makes you loose your value if you do not overwrite

Description
Steps:
- have a object with a tag foo=bar
- add a new tag (alt+a): use a key which already exists (foo). foo=rab
- question pops up and asks if you want to overwrite. Cancel.
Expected: should take you back to the "add" window to give you the chance to change the key or to copy the value.
Actual: your new key and value (which may be long - in case of notes) is lost.

for me the behavior was not acceptable, otherwise I would not have reported a bug. I had entered a longer text as value (key: note) which was lost after having this problem. If you compile many info sources into a text it can quite take some time and may not be easily re-do-able (e.g. if you delete bookmarks in your browser because you have converted them into a note text).

Minor bug but not so easy to fix as it is not designed this way. This behaviour is acceptable, there's no real loss of data.
