Originally created by @MikeBishop on GitHub (Nov 15, 2021).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/279

The "Create Payee Foo" item still appears in the payee list when a payee named Foo exists. Selecting it creates a second, identically-named payee. The option to create a new payee should disappear if what's typed exactly matches an existing payee. (Or, since I assume there's some trimming/normalization in that flow, if the created payee would have the same name as an existing payee.)

Probably related: Typing "F" and hitting "Foo" in the keyboard's autocomplete does not match a payee named "Foo", because what's typed into the field is "Foo ". Actual should trim leading and trailing whitespace from the contents of the field before deciding whether the Payee exists.
