Comment (by joedolson):

 >  Do you mean that the Categories, Tags, etc. selection UI will be
 initially hidden like in tabs? Perhaps it would be better if they are all
 visible. Less confusing and a lot better for accessibility.

 I don't think this would be an accessibility concern. A well-constructed
 tabpanel is a good way of simplifying a complex user interface. I don't
 think it's a concern for most standard post types with just a couple of
 taxonomies, but for sites that make heavier use of taxonomies and a post
 type could have 6 or 7 taxonomies, I think this would be beneficial. It
 would be a significant benefit for keyboard users who aren't using a
 screen reader; screen readers have enough additional keyboard navigation
 mechanisms that they can work with it pretty easily either way, but
 navigating all those terms just from the keyboard would be very labor
 intensive.

 >  Frankly I'm not sure if this is worth doing. It will also be super
 confusing if a user changes a category or tag and then notices they have
 selected a wrong post and deselects it. If saved "on change" the wrong
 post would be changed anyway and the "Update" button at the bottom becomes
 somewhat pointless.

 Agree with @azaozz. Implementing any kind of autosave on bulk actions is
 pretty risky; I think bulk actions should only be handled when the user is
 ready.
