Question

Categories persistent even when empty

While cleaning up some entries in some vaults, I removed (deleted) some non-login items (e.g., bank accounts, passports, etc.). However, after removing all entries within a category (meaning no items remain), the category is not actually removed from the sidebar list on the Windows client. Thus, I currently have several categories of items on the sidebar that are completely empty when those categories should simply be removed.

Fully deleting the items (removing them from the trash) doesn't clear the categories from the sidebar either. Interestingly, the other clients (Chrome & Edge extensions and the online version) exhibit the correct behavior. Thus, after removing all items from a category, the category is removed from the sidebars, leaving only the categories of the entries that remain in a vault.

This certainly isn't a big deal, but at least wanted to bring it to folks' attention as others may experience it and may be a quick fix.

Hi @IR69, thanks for the update. It's good to hear you're not seeing the empty Rewards category on your new PC.

One of my colleagues has been able to reproduce the issue you're seeing with the Comment As... button, where the comment isn't posted or saved to drafts after signing in. I've filed an issue for this to be investigated further. Thanks for reporting this to us 😄
