Can't edit link categories if 'most used' is selected

[sh_howard]

I recently upgraded to 2.7. I discovered yesterday that I couldn't change the categories assigned to a link in the Edit Links admin page. Moreover, on closer investigation I found that several recent new links (added using the links bookmarklet) to my blogroll had been assigned a new category I hadn't created, called '11', overriding the category I'd attempted to assign when I added them.

This appears to be because I'd selected 'Most Used' categories. (I then also found that I couldn't immediately switch back to 'All Categories' - in fact I was only able to do this in the bookmarklet screen.) After I switched back to All Categories, I've been able to edit existing categories and assign categories to new links.

(As a sidenote, I'd like to add that the reason I switched to Most Used in the first place was because the order the links appear in All Categories seems random - it's not alphabetical, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the id numbers)

I can't reproduce this in trunk. (Can switch freely between all links/most used and All Links is in Alpha order with blogroll at the end). Can you give steps to reproduce it?

I can confirm this as a bug for me as well. Steps to reproduce:

1) Go to Links -> Edit.
2) Select a link to edit.
3) Activate the "Most Used" tab, and uncheck the current category, then select an new one.
4) Update link. The link category will remain unchanged.

Going through the same steps, but unselecting/selecting the categories via the "All Categories" tab instead will produce the expected result of actually changing the link's category assignment.

unable to reproduce in trunk has well like mrmist. looks like a fixed issue with 2.8. i close this as worksforme. please reopen if this appears in trunk. there is no more 2.7.x release planned.
