Adding Categories Not Chosen 6.7.1
-
The Classic Editor is now adding categories to a post, that have not been chosen. It happens in both Popular and All Categories tabs.
Updated to WordPress 6.7.1 and it’s still happening.

A client just reported this to me yesterday. Apparently, when you check a category, ALL categories starting with the same digit get selected, too. For example: If you have a category with id=6 and a lot of categories so you have categories 60…69, 600…699 etc. all those get selected along that category 6.
This seems to be a side effect from a code change between WP 6.7 and WP 6.7.1 due to issues with keeping the both category tabs (most used/all categories) in the classic editor in sync (it only happens with the classic editor, not with the block editor, and I tested various plugins that bring back the classic editor, it seems not to matter which one [e.g. “Classic Editor”, “Disable Gutenberg”, etc.] is used.)
It would be great if somebody could create an issue for this, I don’t have the time to document everything properly for a report right now. Downgrade to WP 6.7 or even 6.6.2 and clearing all caches to make sure the “bad” file version won’t be loaded from cache solves the issue for the moment. Maybe @azaozz could have a look at this?
