<<Having looked a bit more at categories, I encountered another strange
phenomenon. On Opel Laubfrosch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Laubfrosch,
which has a lot of categories, the order of the cats on the page settings tab
changes. Initially I get 8 categories, from "Opel vehicles" to "compact cars".
But when I e.g. click on the drop down button next to 1920s automobiles, and
then click again in the "categories" window (to close the drop down without any
changes), I get 10 cats instead of 8, and in a different order. "Vehicles
introduced in 1924" and "Sedans" are doubled (explaining the increase from 8 to
10), and the 3rd one is now no longer "1920s automobiles" but "1930s
automobiles"... This can go on for quite a while, with the occasional
disappearance of a cat as well apparently (normally the last one). Things start
to break down, with the page settings then no longer working, or it being no
longer possible to add a cat, and so on.>>
I can confirm what he says, and this bug does not look browser or skin
specific.
VE will let you save in a situation where you have these cats duplicated, and a
"saved edit" message will also pop-up, but there will be no trace of the edit
in the history. Plain removal of all the categories works fine instead:
