# Bug? when no posts

 * When a category do not have any content, it is not displayed and not selectable
   under “terms”.
 * If you then temporary tag a post with the wanted category, it shows up, you can
   choose it and save the list.
 * If you then remove the category, it works fine and the list shows the “message
   if empty”.
 * But if you after that need to change something in the list settings, again – 
   the category do not display – and when you then save, the result is that the 
   list shows ALL posts. I assume that it then re-sets the category settings to “
   non selected”.
