(reproduced it in an extra pc)
I edit a file's tags via RMB on the tags column.
I have "add new tags to tags list" checked.
I write: "books, psychology". They are added.
But when going to the lists management, tags
I then see "bookspsychology"

I encountered also many issues, almost all those related by sfranky, with the first release 0108. With r 0110 most of them seem fixed.
Though "Edit Tags" has often weird behaviour.
On a file w/o any tags I Edit Tags : I entered on 3 lines the 3 tags "aaa" then "bbb", then "ccc"
In Tag List (seen by List Management), the 3 words appear on one line as "aaa[][]bbb[][]ccc" (where [] are little squares) in Editor mode.
Then I apply this tag to a file. In the tags columns, the 3 tags appear sticked as in Tag List Editor.
As workaround, I open Tag List by List management, first in Editor mode, then in List Mode (this time, the 3 words are on 3 lines), then I come back in Editor Mode. From now on, the 3 tags are on 3 lines and I can choose one (or two or three) of them in "Add Tags" window.

I have always used the latest beta. With today's beta, both the concatenation and the vanishing tag problem seem to be gone!
super!
are labels going to be extinct soon? or will they be coexisting with tags?
also, will there be buttons like the ones for labels? (select label, find label)
all this is turning out great!

No, labels have their own right of existence! I love them!
Sure,
Tags 2.0, Phase 3 will bring you the toolbar stuff...

Woah!
When your tag list is "aaa[][]bbb[][]ccc" could you please enter this into the Address Bar of the latest version (v9.80.0111):
And post the return. Thanks.

Here are some screenshots (from r 0111)
with a fresh install (nor XYplorer.ini neither tag.dat)
and after Editing Tags

With Add Last Tags(aaa,bbb,ccc) those are comma separated (as expected)

Weird. Cannot explain. Are you using an unusal code page / system language?

None unusual config (Win XP SP2)

- from Various Information (in XYplorer Help)

I see that XYplorer.ini is Unicode coded, that's all.
Anyway it is simple to fix the issue :
you edit Tag List by List Management. You have just to go in Editor mode then back to List mode. That's all.
After that the 3 tags are comma separated even in Favorites > Add Last Tags(aaa,bbb,ccc) menu.
You have though still to Edit Tags of the files containing square separated tags.
