Old description:

> When you create a custom post type that supports categories and create
> some entries in the post type and have them in that category and then
> click on the category it shows no entries.

New description:

 Register a post type that supports categories.

 Wether you go to:

 {{{wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category}}}

 or to:

 {{{wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category&post_type=example}}}

 the Posts column displays the same counts.

 This leaves users the false impression that category archives should
 display posts with any post type.

Comment:

 Actually, the reason you expected it to show all posts is precisely
 because of those post counts.

 So, it's still an issue, except it should be fixed in a different way.
