Minor UI bug here.. if the description of a category contains an @username mention (or maybe other HTML entities), then it doesn’t render properly in the edit category box. Here’s an example. Sorry for the yellow boxes - the stuff is under NDA. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/5/1505ebd60f601a7d3e184ced6ce8bf24292f2361.png) ---
