Describe the bug

When clicking "add category" it doesn't let me, it just says "You have unsaved changes".

I have tried restarting the backend, and opening a new private browsing window, but it makes no difference.

If I click "discard" the message goes away, but it comes back if I try again to add a category.

To Reproduce

1. Go to Settings
2. Click: "Add category"

Expected behavior

Not see a message: "You have unsaved changes"

Documentation

I can't see anything strange in the logs for aw-server or aw-qt.

Additional context

I have no custom categories, only the defaults.

You are misunderstanding the message.

It means you added a category, and now you'd need to save if you want to keep that category/changes, or discard if you don't.

Yep, oops! 🤦

I didn't notice the little blank category that had been added to the list, I guess I was expecting a popup.

Thanks!

Nothing to see here....

[ErikBjare]

I know, we really should add that popup... :)

I think it's just that the "you have unsaved changes" message appears immediately with emphasis/colouring, which draws the eye and you miss the subtle new blank category added to the list.

If you're me, anyway!
