1. I clicked on Create a new Topic when I was in one category
2. I chose a different category to post in
3. After selecting the new category, it does not display in the category field
If I create this topic, it _will_ be in the category I selected, but visually Discourse doesn’t tell me that’s true.

I don’t get step 2 though. This is supposed to be scoped to the current category you were in (and from my test, this is the case).
So how can you choose a different parent category in step 2? I’m missing something here.
EDIT: Ok I get it, seems like search is not getting scoped to current category. (and for some reason my first attempt didnt show this)
