I do see this. However, if there are a decent number of categories/subcategories it’s not clear to the user what category the ‘subtle hint’ in the colouring of labels represents. It would be great to be able to show labels for both the parent category and subcategory in these cases.

I was hoping it would be perhaps a CSS hack?
