16397	Selecting Sub-Category should select parent category.	sterlo		"If you have the current structure:
 * Category A
  * Child Category B

Currently in WordPress if you put any posts into the child category, it will treat as though it's also a part of the parent category.

Meaning that if I don't specifically select the parent category and I just select the child category and save...if I do a query on the parent category - it will have increased in value.

Would it not make sense to have it automatically select all parent categories of a child category when selecting what categories a post belongs to?"	feature request	closed	normal		General	3.1	normal	wontfix
