tagging of posts not working since 2.8beta1

[erunafailaro]

After upgrading from 2.7.1 to 2.8-beta1 and 2.8-beta2 it is no longer possible to add existing tags to posts. Only brand new tags can be added to posts, ie.e if I enter a new tag in the edit-post-screen or while doing quick.edit on the post-list.

Post request from a quick-edit to add the Tag "aufreger"

Are you using hyperdb? If so, try updating it to the latest version. Older versions have compatibility problems with 2.8 that result in tags not saving.

Yes, thank you Ryan. This has solved the problem for me.
