   I've got a custom post type set up - "Webinar" - and a whole bunch of categories with subcategories. Now, in the master category list all the categories are listed correctly with their subcategories indented under them. But on the add/edit a Webinar page, the list of category checkboxes isn't quite right: for one particular category, the subcategories aren't listed below it. They're all right at the bottom of the list, and not indented, like they're parent categories. This is only for one category - the others are all listed correctly. And even weirder, when you do tick one of the errant subcategories and update the post, it gets moved to its correct place under the parent category.

   I don't know what the cause might be. Incorrect parent ID's in the database was my first thought, but then it's displaying correctly in the master list. I don't know enough about WP's database structure to confirm.

   Any ideas?

   I am facing the same problem, but with a more simple setup:

   - No custom post type set, just a normal post
   - Any category / subcategory seems to act this way

   When creating a new post the categories are listed are they are supposed to: subcategories are nested below their parents. Selecting either the parent or the subcategory alone and publishing or saving a draft of the post like that causes the categories to be listed at the bottom of the category list without being nested like they are supposed to. It gets fixed when either the parent category or the subcategory is added and the post updated.

   Using WordPress 3.3.1 (in Finnish).
