Choosing a category changes topic type back to normal

When I first change the topic type to post voting and select or change a category afterwards, the topic type is changed back to normal. While this is probably quite obvious after you have created some voting topics, I did not notice that the button label changed.

Steps:

  1. Enable post voting.
  2. Draft a new topic.
  3. Set the topic type to post voting first, so you won’t forget later.
  4. Choose a category, fill in the title and body.
  5. Publish the topic.
  6. Wonder why post voting doesn’t work.

7. Find out it was disabled without you noticing.
