 The way hierarchical taxonomy terms are displayed within the classic
 editor is confusing and I believe needs updating to properly reflect the
 order/structure of said terms when they're selected.

 I've checked the interface of Gutenberg as part of WordPress 5.2.2 and
 this seems to be addressed so it's just classic editor meta box thing
 strangely enough.

 When you select a term, and it's parent term, any siblings that are not
 selected are left orphaned at the bottom of the category meta box list
 which means in some instances they're out of context and can be hard to
 identify which parent category they below to.

 I'll attach some screenshots to illustrate my point further.

 I think this is a bug but it breaks the hierarchical structure and will
 lead to confusion for the user.
