Steps to reproduce:
WP-admin
1. Click on Posts > Categories
2. Click on Add New
3. Enter a category name
4. Click Add New Category button
5. Expected Result: Screen refreshes, category appears in the list on the right, system displays message: "category "category name" has been added - FAILED
Actual Result: Nothing happens
6. Refresh the page
7. Category appears in category list on the right
This original (closed) thread describes the problem exactly.

I am having the same issue with WordPress 3.2.1 I don't see this as resolved because in my case I was experiencing the problem even before I had activated any plugins.
In my mind this is a bug in WordPress core. Can anyone else offer insight?

Works for me:
- Click on Posts --> Categories
- Click on Add New
- Enter category name (as it appear on the site)
- Enter the slug
- Click Add New Category
Result: Category appears in the list on the right.

I was having the same exact issue. After much trouble-shooting I found that the cause was extra space at the end of the functions.php file in my theme.
By deleting any white-space at the bottom of the functions.php file, I was able to make everything work as normal.

I was ready to check all my files again and then I found this and decided to do what you told and delete two white spaces I found at the end of my functions.php and it really did work! Thanks : )
