Category pages not displaying content/forgetting how I arranged the fields

Yesterday I noticed that some category pages I'd recently opened in the new UI wouldn't display any content but the introduction. When I opened it up again in athena, it was thankfully clear that nothing was deleted, but I noticed that the fields themselves were not in the position I'd moved them to. I've also had trouble with the css field not remembering classes I added. After I rearranged the fields the page worked again. For troubleshooting:

However I've also experienced that classes I add to category pages will sometimes get removed when I view the page again, so I worry if there might be a problem with the categories not properly saving? I use vivaldi, a chromium-based browser.

Steps to Reproduce

I do not know how to consistently reproduce the bug, it doesn't happen to all of my categories. One thing the categories have in common is that I have rearranged them at some point in the previous UI, and the bug only happens after opening the category edit in the new UI.

This is happening to me constantly. Every time I revisit my world, I have to reformat and reorder every category I visit.

Any progress? It's been marked important for a month and a half.

Three months. Anything?

Most of my categories still do not display most of their content (only the title and the global field), and it seems to have affected more of them (like the first one I linked). I went and reordered the third link, the one I'd fixed previously that broke again. Like before, the category had forgotten the position I'd put the custom fields in. I'll try to keep an eye on it and see if it reverts again. Should I go and manually fix the articles, or should the fixes have fixed them?

Hello! <3 I hope you are having a nice day!

Find your way!
