 There seems to be a bug when editing a page and using child categories.

 Lets say I have a category with ten child categories.

 If I add on of those children to the page and then save the page, when I
 come back to look at those categories the parent child relationship is
 lost in the display. What I mean by this is that the master category will
 noly display one child (the one that was picked for the page) the other
 children are now displayed as if they were independent top level
 categories.

 This makes it very difficult to select the right categories for a post
 when you come back to edit it.

 The workaround is to deselect all categories and save the page. The parent
 child relationship will then re-establish itself and the categories can be
 selected.
