New validation on entry works a little to good

Current Behavior / Expected Behavior

You kind-of solved an issue in the previous release saying:
Show better indication when item in Entity-Picker doesn't exist #3504
So that was really nice :-), only the validation can get stuck.
I'll try to explain.

Instructions to Reproduce the Problem

Right now, when I add a new item in the blog module, the 'Add' button is greyed out because there are some required fields I have to fill. Like:

• title
• content
• category
• author

When I fill these, the 'Add' button turns blue/active, so I can save my new blogpost.
So far everything works perfect.

However, when I click on the plus button to add a new entry, and then click on the greyed out 'Add' button.
It first shows a toast/popup message saying which fields are required.
Then, when I fill these field (I made sure I really, really filled the required fields, trust me)
The button still stays greyed out/disabled.

So I think there is something not totally correct yet in the validation:

Maybe it has something to do with the fact you first have to enter a title before you can enter other fields in the blog app, but I'm not sure about that...

@trouble2 I have a feeling this is a UX problem, not a data problem. still needs fixing, but I need to be sure.

Did you just type the word - or type the word and select something?

...because if you type the word and leave the field, it doesn't select anything, just shows you the search-text you had been typing before.

I would still need to fix it, but I must be sure I'm fixing the right problem - and at least my tests worked IF I selected the item.

added fix so UI is cleared if the user didn't actually select anything.

to be released in 1-2 days.
