I have multiple categories, some of them are "Erledigungen","Sport+Freunde". they are displayed in the order I typed them here. Let's say i create an event in the category "Sport+Freunde" and save it. Then i reopen the event. Now, in the event's details, the wrong category "Erledigungen" (the one above "Sport+Freunde" in the dropdown menu) is preselected. Unless I manually correct the category to it's original value, xfce now saves the wrong category when closing+saving the event. I didn't notice this bug in 4.7.5., however I also created new categories directly after the update.
Yes, I can reproduce this.
This is fixed in 4.8.0.2 version available in GIT now. I will soon do new release.
Fixed in 4.8.1
