Create a new Topic in one category > change categories > new category is not displayed

[debryc (Deborah Chang)]

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.

Oh dear this is definitely a repro-able bug @sam @j.jaffeux we need to prioritize a fix here quick next week.

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)

Sorry about this, should be fixed by:

Thanks for detailed report!

Did you mark this one for backport to stable?

[j.jaffeux (Joffrey Jaffeux)]

No because I will merge it Monday, but I will backport it at this time
