   When creating or editing a post using an author account, where it says "Choose from the most popular tags", instead of getting the tag cloud, it simply says "-1". With an admin or editor account I can pick the tags from the cloud as normal but they are not coming across to any of my author accounts.

   I'm having the same issue. Are you using Role Manager? I am, and have been wondering if this could be part of the issue.

   I'm not using Role Manager. It's not browser specific either because I've tried Firefox, IE7, IE6 and Safari.

   I just wanted to chime in that I am having the same issue. Everything works great for the administrator, but for the author the "Choose from the most popular tags" just gives a "-1" instead of the actual tags. I haven't tried this with an editor account, but so far no one complained except the Authors.

   I still haven't been successful in fixing this issue. Authors (and a custom role I have set up) still continue to get "-1" instead of a list of tags. Anyone have any ideas?

   It happens because of "manage categories" role. You need it to see the tags. So there are two solutions:
   1) Add the role by Role Manager
   2) Comment the role check in admin-ajax.php. These lines:
   

   if ( !current_user_can( 'manage_categories' ) )
   	die('-1');

   it's right after
   

   case 'get-tagcloud' :

   Thanks, hexello. I was able to fix this by adding the role in Role Manager, as you suggested. I appreciate your help!
