Expected behavior: every entered category is added to the page.
Actual behavior: all existing categories are removed, and only the entered ones are placed.

Note: this is the case for both core and compat.

If it is working as intended, the messages need to be clearer, and re-translated, but priority/severity of the bug can be reduced if it isnt a regression.
