Hellooo,
i have an issue with creating new categories would love to get some support 
Category creation form loses entered data and jumps down
Description
When creating a new category, the category creation form behaves unexpectedly. The input field for the category position causes the page to jump to the “Create Category” button, and previously entered information disappears.
Steps to reproduce
-
→ Create New Category.
-
Enter a category name, select a parent category, and choose a color.
-
Open Settings → Position on category page.
-
Enter a number in the position field.
Observed behavior
-
After typing the first digit (without pressing Enter), the page jumps down to the “Create Category” button.
-
When returning to the field to enter the second digit, the page jumps down again.
-
When navigating back to General, the previously entered data (name, parent category, color) has disappeared and must be re-entered.
Expected behavior
-
The cursor should remain in the Position on category page field while typing.
-
The page should not jump to the Create Category button.
-
Previously entered form data should remain intact.
Environment
-
Hosting: self-hosted
-
Discourse version: 2026.3.0
-
Browser: Microsoft Edge
-
Operating system: Windows
Additional notes
This behavior occurs consistently since updating to 2026.3.0.
When in Firefox, page does not jump down after entering a position number. The initially entered information (category name, color, parent category) has still disappeared.
If a category has already been created and the position is changed afterwards, Discourse also jumps down to the end of the page (in Edge, not in Firefox)
Thanks in advance!
