If I edit a node after it has been created, the form that shows up does not have the categories already chosen for the node selected. If I don't reselect the same taxonomy term I get an "illegal choice" error when I try to submit the edited node. The "illegal choice" error should not appear at all (what if I want to change the category?) and the taxonomy term initially chosen when the node was created should be selected by default when editing (otherwise people forget).

This error is still present in the latest cvs version, when you edit a node having one or more vocabularies set to multiple + not required.
If none of the required categories is selected, both preview and submit generate an errore message "Illegale choice in -vocabularyname-". If you choose the "none" item for not required vocabularies, it works.
I guess the taxonomy form should set at least the default item "none" for not required vocabularies, when no other item is selected.

I tried this with today's CVS and could not repeat it so I'm marking it as a dup again.

I tried out a couple scenarios of adding/removing/editing terms that were multiple/single select but that were not required items - is that the correct scenario?
