Check the video for repro steps. Although the category name is full in the preview box, it doesn’t appear in the actual post.

I fixed this issue for mentions last week in this commit [FIX: Update preview when autocomplete is clicked (#10430) · discourse/discourse@b9891e3 · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/b9891e3def289d2d0f33c0f18fa0bcd1e724e390).

The fix for category autocomplete is pretty much the exact same. Here is a PR [FIX: Clicking on category autocomplete row by markvanlan · Pull Request #10457 · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/10457).

Merged!
