Well this one is half feature request and half bug fix. I apologize in advance if its been mentioned before.
First the bug - With the Taxonomy component installed the standard Drupal add term page only shows root terms in the "Parent" pop up. This seems like a big one and i'm hoping it is not a necessity for HS to limit Drupal in this way or that i have done something wrong on the my multiple and clean install sites that i've recreated this problem on.
The feature - Creation of new terms should be allowed in the next deeper sublevel that previously had no term(s) entered in it. Right now we can't create a deeper sublevel term for a previously entered term unless a term already exists in that deeper sublevel.
Many Thanks . . .

wim leers1) Duplicate of http://drupal.org/node/297435.
2) You must enable the "Allow creation of new levels" setting.
If the answer to 2) doesn't work for you, please mark as active again.

Hunabku commentedSir Wim - i have marked "Allow creation of new levels" - just so you know i have spent a few days trying to fix this and the reason for the duplicate post is i saw that my original post dropped off the radar and i just want to know if anyone else is experiencing the same.
Thanks for all your wonderful efforts - i realize open source is a collective endeavor and would be happy to do any testing that you see fit - FYI i do have fire bug installed now.

Hunabku commentedI have created a screencast demonstrating the above mentioned feature request and apparent bug.

wim leersThis is a recent bug, caused by an optimization in which a callback to the server is avoided when it's known that a term has no child terms. That darn optimization caused a boatload of regressions. :(
In any case, THANK YOU for this screencast. If every bug reporter would describe his problem so clearly and visually, we'd have been out of beta/RC a long time ago :) Thank you, you rock :)
Anyway, as you can see, I already know what the cause is. And somebody posted about the same problem, and suggested a work-around, that unfortunately does away with that optimization altogether. A patch will follow as soon as I find the time :)
Regarding the term creation root level issue: I'm sure that won't be too hard to fix either.
Thanks again :)
