What are the blue minuses in Tags Finder Settings?

I can't figure out why the blue minus marks are there or what their function is. If I click one, it goes away, but clicking again just goes back to a blue check. From there, the box is either blue check or empty...can't get the blue minus back.


I didn't find an explanation in the Tags help docs. Any ideas?

I'm curious how this is happening as well. I just moved to this machine and didn't migrate. I'm thinking this could be caused by the FCPx keywords integration, but haven't experimented yet. Since FCPx keywords can read Finder tags, may it works in reverse...or "partially" works?


Before posting, I did a Google search and ran into a 2017 post that happens to show minuses in the corresponding image, but the post didn't seem to address this oddity.
