Updated edit_entry.tmpl Template

Dan, I used your alternative edit_entry.tmpl file, and it did a very weird thing: whenever I would select one of my previously saved entries for editing, I would get your new environment with all the quick-key buttons… but it would obliterate the main category for that post.

Not the additional categories, just the main. If I selected it again, it would revert right back to “select” upon saving.

I went back to the original version of edit_entry, since I do need to have main categories… but if you can fix this bug, I would love to go back to yours — it’s much better functionality, except for the category-killing bug!

Has anyone else seen this result?

I’m guessing it’s somewhere in this division:

?

selected=”selected”>
selected=”selected”>
selected=”selected”>

” selected=”selected”>

Well, that didn’t work! Let me try again. This time, I am converting all the angle brackets to left and right parentheses… so please just mentally convert them in your mind!
