Minor bug in vSphere Web Client autofilling the VLAN when creating portgroup.

While adding a new host in my home lab this week, I discovered a minor bug in the web client related to VLANs.  The VLAN dropdown will remember previous VLANs that you used, and try to autofill them.  Generally autofill isn't a problem, you just type a space to indicate you want a shorter version.  However this doesn't work as typing a space isn't an option for a VLAN.  So there is no way to indicate for instance that you want VLAN 30 instead of 300.  After some experimenting, I discovered that you can type in 030 and it will take it, and it'll work correctly.  That is however a workaround and not an ideal fix.
