Hi!

I went to Preferences / Notifications / Categories .

Then chose a few categories in the Watched field.

Finally I clicked Save.

When I go back to Preferences / Notifications / Categories, the selected categories are not there: the Watched field is empty.

However, when I click on the field to define them again, the ones I selected before are not there anymore, so I suppose they are saved somehow.

This is on a hosted Discourse instance ([discourse.hibernate.org](http://discourse.hibernate.org)) with Firefox 57 on Fedora.

Thanks!

Hi Guillaume,

sorry for the inconvenience it was a bug that has been resolved a few days ago. It will be fixed next time we deploy your instance. And yes I can confirm you that this was only a UI issue and they are still saved.
