 Hi @MorgunovVit,

 Thanks for taking the the time to comment. Sorry for the frustration of
 your users. As stated above, this was done by design in the classic
 interface. There are several plugins mentioned above that maintain
 category hierarchy for selected categories.

 Also, please read through #38934. In that ticket, I detailed how the
 behavior was changed in the new block editor so the hierarchy of selected
 categories is maintained. Since the block editor was introduced in 5.0 as
 the new editing experience, only bug fixes will be considered for the
 Classic Editor moving forward.
