#9089: categories not appearing in admin - 'prune working set' the culprit ?

Comment:
This also prevents anybody from being able to edit any categories nested
beyond 2 layers deep. They will not show up in the primary manage
categories table. (CatChild in the example of catParent1 > CatParent2 >
CatChild) Raising severity to high due to inability to manage core site
data elements.
The table rows are built in the function cat_rows (/wp-
admin/includes/template.php) which calls get_categories with an array of
arguments. However, the nested categories do show up in the
category_parent dropdown of the add/edit category form. This form also
calls get_categories with a different set of arguments via
wp_dropdown_categories (/wp-includes/category-template.php/)
A duct tape solution was proposed in the original thread on wp.org where
this bug was identified (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224546). but
the author (me) fully admits there are probably more elegant solutions
that should be used to resolve this.
