Can't confirm.

Change Category of Article works as expected (using a Text-Field).

i can confirm this

...weird...
it happens when you have a field
without fields works as expected

[ghost]

Tried again, this Time a second com_field "List of Images": Didn't get issue. Does it depend on Mulitlang. Site also?

[alikon]

i was able to replicate the issue with a basic monolang with sample testing data and 1 article field

[ghost]

will test on fresh Install.

[ghost]

No Issue on fresh monolang. Install using one com_field type "text".

[alikon]

did you change the category from frontend ?

[ghost]

Changed Category from Frontend as Superuser.

i guess related to this one #17872

[brianteeman]

Yes sounds like it and would explain why it is not happening in 3.8 for @franz-wohlkoenig not at my PC to check but will do later

[brianteeman]

I can confirm that this is resolved by #17872 so am closing it here as it will be resolved with the release of 3.8
