 Using latest version of WordPress, default theme, all plugins disabled.
 Problem first appeared in version 4.8 and continues with 4.8.1.

 To recreate the issue:
 1. Create regular post (“Posts”)
 2. Add a new term to the Categories meta box
 3. Save the term (it will appear on top of the list with a check mark next
 to it)
 4. Add the same term again. Nothing happens and the term is not added

 Version 4.7.5 and below would activate the term and put to the top of
 list.  This was helpful when adding a string of terms and some of them
 were already in the database.
