Wait, this was changed? As I know I brought up similar concerns back in Dec

> Yeah, I get hit by this all of the time. I’ll navigate to a category, create a new topic, hit Create Topic and then go “Oh crap, I didn’t mean for that to be in Uncategorized, I wanted it in the private category I was just in!” Happens way too often for me (you’d think I would have learned my lesson after the first 3 times…)

I’m about to get my VM up and running to try this out on latest, but I’d be surprised to find it work differently than what I recall in the past (pleasantly surprised, but surprised nonetheless).

**Edit:** I’m officially pleasantly surprised! 😄
