 * I have just installed WP 2.2 and have found that nested categories become un-
   nested.
 * Initially when they are create I will get something like “parent – child” in 
   the list. However, when the list is refeshed, the nested category becomes “- 
   child”. Is this correct behavious?
 * The categroies appear nested when creating posts.
 * Regards
    Mark

 * Yes that’s the behavior and parent – child – child_of_child will be
 * parent
    – child – – child_of_child
