Bug - Search Category Resetting to All Categories after Search is Complete

Has anyone else seen this bug?  I noticed today that when I click one of my saved searches that are for a specific category, eBay is resetting the category after the results come up.

 

For example, I have a search for "chicago" under O-Scale (for model trains), and while the search opens the correct results, when I look at the category after the page loads, it changes to All Categories instead of staying as O-Scale.  This is also happening when I select the category from the main page - as soon as I search, the category resets.

 

This is very anoying because if I want to search for anything else in O-Scale, I have to change the category back again.  Otherwise I get everything on eBay for what I search for instead of just the category I already was in.

Re: Bug - Search Category Resetting to All Categories after Search is Complete

This problem with searches defaulting to all categories surfaced around the end of last month. No real solutions yet, I'm afraid.
