Why can I only edit 4 tags on a question?

In Answers, if I go to edit the tags on someone else's post -- it will only show the first 4 tags on the post, and when I click save, it will throw away everything past that.

For example, this question had about 10 silly tags on it -- I clicked on "Edit" (tags), it only showed the first 4. I deleted 3 of them, and clicked save. This discarded the 3 I deleted and the other 6 that were not shown, leaving one tag.

Is this a good question?

You shouldn't be able to get more than 4 tags on a question so editing > 4 tags has some weird results. QA guys tell me we've been trying to figure out how to get more than 4 tags on a question for over a month. The only way is to "Type really fast in IE6." I'll do some testing and see if I can reproduce it in other ways.

The real issue I'm looking to solve is "Why are there over 4 tags on a question?"

Well that was easy. I'm going to have to have a talk w/ our QA guy. All you have to do is put in "a, b, c, d, e" in the tag field and click "Ask a Question" instead of the "add" button next to the tags and it you will get 5 tags!
