Comment (by neotrope):

 We see this behavior also (you got ticket up a few ahead of me). In our
 case, using PHP 7.4x, 6.7.1; classic editor; we see random batches of pre-
 selected categories. We don't have uncategorized cat as not normal for a
 news portal :)  So, we see main cats, and sub-cats selected. Like, more
 than 25+ selected and only fix is going into category selector and
 manually 'unchecking.'  So, pre checked "business," "Florida" "California
 --> San Diego," "Medical" etc.

 Folks are on top of this already it looks like, just adding to the foam
 and fray. :)
