Display of Categories on wp-admin/edit.php while using Quickedit-Feature

[F J Kaiser]

Hi, my english is not the best, but i hope you get my point anyway.

What i tried to do: Assigning posts to subcategories. I used the post mass-editing screen and the "quick edit"-ajax function.

What makes a problem: In the dropdown, you can´t difference parent and subcategories(, like you could do in the sinlge-post-editing screen).

I took a look at the root/wp-admin/post-new.php-file which calls the root/wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php-file that is then used for editing a single post. line 341 show the use of "wp_dropdown_categories" with use of "hierachical" true, so the drop-down makes a difference. when taking a look at woot/wp-admin/edit.php-file (which is the file used for the mass-editing-screen) i found on line 236-239 that there is still "wp_dropdown_categories" in use with "hierarchical" set to 'true', but the drop-down isn´t sorting the categories hierarchical or making a text-intend for child-categories.

is don´t know if this a bug. Hope someone over here can handle and fix this. thanks!
