Problem or Use Case

When adding tags, user has to enter tags by fully typing them. Even then, he can't be sure that the tag already exists, he didn't do a typo etc

Proposed Solution

auto-complete so that one doesn't have to memorize tags. Also add a drop-down lists of tags to easily find existing tags

Alternatives Considered

Sure :-) let's say you have 2 categories, catA and catB. When you import a new design and want to assign a category, you start typing c - a - and then I'd expect a popup with "catA catB" from which I could choose.

Currently, nothing happens so 1) I have to know the exact name of the category and 2) if I make a typo, I create a new category

Autocompletion only works if I somehow know how the tag name starts, if not, there's no real way of getting a list of tags besides using the filter by tag field - that's where a dropdown list of tags would be handy to pick tag(s) from

BTW: how to manage tags - rename, delete etc ?
