I recently noticed this glitch where if you go to a category that you cannot post in (such as a rules category) and you quote something, it sets the category to that category that you quoted from. Here is an example from the [Stateview Forums](https://Forum.stateview.io): where I quoted one random word: ![A forum discussion titled "Super Cool" with a description "What an amazing description" and a mention of the Stateview General Directory. (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/7/3/9/7398411db888bbd36fdf641e7a199197fea399d5.jpeg) This may only be on that site, but I just want to make sure that this isn’t a discourse wide issue, as this could be a problem. Also, I haven’t actually tried posting it, I don’t want to get in trouble there. ---

I can reproduce this issue on a test site, so it’s a Discourse-wide issue, but when this happens you’re not allowed to post the topic unless you change the category to one you have permission to create in. Ideally we should update this to fallback to the default category or no category selected. Thanks for reporting it! ---

Oh, ok, but it should still be fixed so that it doesn’t show the current category, as it would cause confusion, and no problem! ---

I think this was already reported in [Quoting a closed topic prefills category in composer that should be off-limits](https://meta.discourse.org/t/quoting-a-closed-topic-prefills-category-in-composer-that-should-be-off-limits/260009) ---

Let’s keep it in the original topic (thanks for the report!)
