Description
3.0 now automatically checks the default category BEFORE new post publication.
2.9.2 used to have all categories unchecked and appended the default category--if the user did not explicitly select a category--AFTER publication.
2.9.2 behavior seems preferable as being cleaner and easier from a user's perspective.

the result of auto-drafts.
Sounds quite likely to me, Perhaps the Default category should only be applied if the post is moving to the published state? (Would cause a problem for /%category%/ permalinks however)

The confusion for the user is multiplied when the default category has any hierarchy beneath it, as selected categories are automatically removed from the hierarchy (see #3130) and their children (and grandchildren, etc.) are displayed flat.

Replying to markel:

That's another thing at play: #10982, #3130.
Ryan's patch seems sensible.
This is, I imagine, the result of auto-drafts.
