This has been fixed by reverting back to the new autocomplete input, make sure you’re running the new release (as of today/yesterday).

Looks like if you hit the delete key twice, it will clear the category. However, for it to save you must hit enter. If you hit tab or shift+tab, it will not save.

Thanks! I am on PikaPods so I have to wait a couple of weeks to get the update.
