Hi.  
So, if you’re on a Discourse page, and an admin creates a new subcategory, the category lists from your own page updates itself via ajax, which is good.  
It works well when a category is created, but there’s a bug if it’s a subcategory.

Here’s what the category selector displays when the admin create a subcategory **test** on the category **Autour d’une roue** :

As it is a subcategory, it should not be displayed among the parent categories. Plus, if you click on it, it leads to a 404.

You have to actually reload the page for the category list to be properly updated.

Please read the definition of bug in the category description – _prevents normal use of Discourse_. There’s no way this qualifies as that.

Oh, sorry, alright. 🙂  
I thought clicking on a category that leads to a 404 would fit .
