When a field with a machine name is filled out, you can inadvertently change the machine name with no indication that you have changed it.
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to /admin/people/roles/add
- Type "Default" in the Role name field
- Hit the tab key twice
- Type "notdefault"
- Press edit like you were going to change the machine name.
The machine name is now "notdefault," instead of "Default," like it should be. The preview next to the role name field does not update, and continues to say "default." This has been tested on Chrome, Firefox, Firefox Developer Edition, Brave, Opera and Microsoft Edge.
I propose we change the machine name field to have a on_change ajax callback to change the machine name preview field to whatever is in the machine name field. This would allow the user to see what the machine name really is without actually checking the field. Alternatively, we could remove the visually-hidden tag on the machine name field via an ajax callback, to have the effect of pressing edit when someone edits the field on the form.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
Triaged as part of BSI.
I cannot reproduce this on 11.x standard profile. 2 tabs after entering a Role name takes you to the Save button.
The machine name field was changed quite a bit in 10.1 (I believe).
Closing as outdated based on that.
