I just ran into a similar problem because I used Tab instead of Enter, 
which left the field in some kind of limbo state. But "lose focus" also 
happens when I switch to a different window to check the syntax of 
github package sources one more time, which I would not want considered 
as an update. Also, currently when I switch back to the package web 
page, the cursor moves from wherever it was to the pencil button next to 
the package name.

The fact that nowhere does the website say "I have now created a new 
package." It took me three tries to upload a package; apparently it did 
fail the first couple times, but I had to reload the main page once or 
twice to check. I only succeeded after remembering this thread and 
re-reading it to learn that the Enter key was important.

This feels like a step backward in usability from a plain old form with 
a submit button.
