When pasting a link into the title and forming a featured link, the title of the topic becomes text from the link, and the topic content is the link itself. Seems okay, so far.  
However, this happens even without a category chosen. Usually, when no category is chosen, the user is unable to enter anything as the post content. But by pasting a link in the title, and the link being in the post content, you can now type in the post content box. I’m fairly certain this isn’t expected behaviour, since there may be templates that are limited to certain categories that users have to fill up, if they choose a category _after_ typing the content, but the template doesn’t appear.
