why does 'Copy Post' insert every category to the post?

  I tried the copy a post feature and it automatically checks every category. it didn’t save me any time as I had to unclick all the categories. Is there a way around that?

  Do you mean it checked every category on your blog, or every category from the original post?

  Of course I mean every category I have ever created. I wouldn’t think it was an error if it copied the categories I was copying.

  I tried one today on another computer and it worked fine so maybe it is my laptop? I’ll try again on my laptop and see if it works. Maybe this has been fixed already.

  Thanks.

  Okay, it could have been an issue with your laptop or a temporary glitch. If it happens again please do let us know. Cheers!

  I tried the laptop again this morning and it did the same thing. I click copy a post, select a post, and ALL of the categories are checked. But on another computer it works just fine. I can do some screen shots if you’d like.
  It’s not that big of deal now that I know it does work, but just not on my laptop, just thought you all might want to know!

  Thanks!
