Description

Describe the bug

With the new Contact-Version there is a huge problem, that appears, when I was editing an already existing contact and then want to save it via the save button (which is obviously new, because before an edited field was automatically saved).

The button is sometimes not clickable anymore.

But I don't see any logic behind this issue. The field and the input doesn't matter. Even after a page refresh.

Steps to reproduce
  1. open a contact
  2. click on edit button
  3. edit/add a field
  4. click save button
Expected behavior

button is clickable to save the edited fields and after that

Actual behavior

The button is not active anymore. The (graphical) mouseover hover works, the cursor is the pointer, but nothing happens, after the button is clicked.

Contact version

5.3.0-beta.1

Operating system

No response

PHP engine version

Research direction

Start by reproducing the contact edit and save flow described in the issue using Contacts 5.3.0-beta.1, focusing on when the save button becomes inactive. Compare behavior across fields and after a refresh; done means edited fields can consistently be saved through the button.
