Description

When a taxonomy is shared across multiple post_types these are counted as a total of both.

For instance:

My custom category "discipline" is used on the post_types "course" and "summer_course".

On one discipline the courses have 4 and the summer_courses have 7. In the backend the count is then "11" but when clicking the link on the course discipline I see only 4.

Another bad thing about this is how hide_empty is working. If the courses has 6 courses with a discipline but summer_courses don't, the get_terms() will shown the discipline as not empty. It would be nice to specify which post_types should be including.

I've found this solution but I really think that there should be a fix for more core as well:
