[wp-hackers] Functionality Issue With Dropdown_Cats

[Robin Adrianse]

As far as I can tell from a quick look at the Xref of the code, I don't
believe so (someone please correct me if I'm wrong...). You could submit a
feature request ticket to Trac <http://trac.wordpress.org/> (
trac.wordpress.org) so it can be added into the code.
