Unable to edit or delete tags in editor.
How to reproduce:
1. Create new/open project.
2. Select an object you want to set tag for.
3. Press "Add Tag"
4. Press "+" to create a tag.
5. Try to rename or delete the created tag.
Expected behaviour: ability to rename or delete tags.
Actual behaviour: tags cannot be renamed, deleting only removes their name leaving the tag line intact.

OK this updated piece of documentation states we can no longer EDIT tags in 5.5 and above.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-TagManager.html
If you go back to the 5.4 (or earlier) version of the documentation you can see we used to be able edit tags.
Would this change -- that we can no longer edit tags -- be what's causing issues for people? Could something be wrong in the implementation?

This has suddenly started happening to me in Unity 5.6.1f1.
In my current project, and in a completely new and empty project, I can't edit tags. I can add or delete them
It is also causing "Tag not defined" errors in my game, when in fact I have not changed any tag references for quite a few weeks.
I refreshed my install of Unity just in case, but made no difference.

I just had a silly error that cost me like 4 hours, so maybe I spare some time for you.
Everything was ok in Unity Editor mode, but on android it didn't work.
ADB showed this:
UnityException: GameObject has undefined tag!
Solution was to enter tag editor, add a fake tag then reload the project.
It had "Removed" tags in the middle and that apparently confused Android.
Your comments helped anyway.

Having the same issue except my tags are there in the tag selection but when i go to tags and layers, half of my tags are gone and i can't re-add them or new ones no matter what workaround i try.
They will not show up in the list and the functionality behind them stopped working.
It's like the tags don't exist but they are still shown in the tag selection.
This needs to be fixed...

I wonder whether this will be fixed? I cannot add tags in 5.5.3 as they immediatelly disappear after the line loses focus. The tags work properly

this is in 5.5.2, and again, badly breaks .exe. I'm having to use .Find ("name") until tag issue is properly resolved

This is still and issue- and badly breaks our exe build.
As Snipered007 mentions, the (Removed) tags aren't being removed, but are being stripped out of exe builds which causes the mismatch.
Workaround is to edit the YAML TagManager.asset and remove the blank tags manually

Issue remains in 5.5.0f3 - deleting tags displays a note in the tag-editor, that they'll be removed once the project is opened again, but the tag remains after reloading the project, and shutting down Unity completely and opening it again doesn't help either.
