**Reproduce:**
1. Go to a category where people can mark solutions & click the Edit button to modify category settings.
2. Notice **“Allow topic owner and staff to mark a reply as the solution”** is not checked.
3. Check the box for that, and click Save Category.
4. Open the edit dialog again.
**Expected result:**
- The box accurately represents the state of the toggle, and stays checked.
**Actual result:**
- The box is not checked for categories with solutions enabled, and the box never stays checked after checking it and saving settings.

To make matters worse, I can’t figure out how to get solutions re-enabled for my category after trying to fix this setting. Yikes!

Fixed this one. We were doing something weird and modifying `Category` instances after they were already created.
