tax_checkboxes and tax_select won't work with hierarchical categories

[nomoreme]

I have a custom_taxonomy that is hierarchical.

When i use either tax_checkboxes or tax_select it doesn't seem to work in the right way: if i choose one the child category, after saving the data, the parent category is selected (and saved, if the user press the update button)

I've set in a few conditionals that now check whether the taxonomy is hierarchical or not and saves the proper data accordingly.

Sorry, but i still have this issue :(

Now when I save, instead of saving the selected term, a new term is created (with the selected term-id as a name).

I've manage to solve the issue this way:

$term = intval($_POST[$field['id']]);

on line 590 of meta_box.php.

It seems to work in my case (it's a custom-taxonomy associated to a custom-post-type).

Was having this issue to with just regular categories. This fixed it. Thank you.
