I can not see that on my blog.
If I schedule a draft topic to publish in a category “top section on topic” is not aware of the fact I did it and nothing shows up in the list when I visit the draft category regarding destination.
If I change the combo box at the top, it is not “sticky”, after I change and reload if forgets that I set it.
Maybe I am running an old version, or did not set something up right?
