Description

In the post editing page, if you add a category which already exists, Wordpress duplicates the default category (Uncategorized), instead of showing a warning or doing nothing.

Confirmed in 3.3, seems fixed in 3.4rc4.

I can reproduce this in trunk. Seems that the last category in the list gets duplicated.

Also, seems to be a mere visual error, no new categories are actually created.

Couldn't reproduce on a clean install of 3.4-RC4 though, needs more investigating.

  • Component changed from UI to Administration
  • Keywords 2nd-opinion reporter-feedback added

Can't reproduce this on 3.5, nor on current trunk.

  • Resolution set to worksforme
  • Status changed from new to closed

Can't reproduce this on 3.5.2 nor on current trunk. Followed these steps on both versions:

  1. Create category titled "News" at Posts > Categories.
  2. Create new post at Posts > Add New
  3. Add title and body content in to post
  4. Click "Add new category"
  5. Enter "News" as the new category name
  6. Click "Add new category"

Doing this selects the current "News" category that was created in step 1. It does not create a duplicate "Uncategorized" category.
