First taxonomy term dropped from select lists

I recently upgraded several sites to Drupal 5.10 and noticed a bug where the first term in a taxonomy select list was dropped.

The first term was dropped in exposed filter select lists and in the taxonomy term select lists in the view edit form.

I found commenting out this line in views/modules/views_taxonomy.inc (and clearing the views cache) fixed it:

<?php
function views_taxonomy_form(&$vocabulary) {
  if ($vocabulary->tags) {
    $form = array('#type' => 'textfield',
      '#autocomplete_path' => 'taxonomy/autocomplete/'. $vocabulary->vid,
      '#process' => array('views_taxonomy_process_form' => array()),
      '#maxlength' => 255,
    );
  }
  else { 
    $form = taxonomy_form($vocabulary->vid, 0, $vocabulary->help);
    unset($form['#title']);
    unset($form['#description']);
    if (!$vocabulary->required) {
      //commented out to fix bug where first term is missing from lists
      //perhaps this is because drupal handles required taxonomy differently now?
      // unset($form['#options'][0]);
    }
    unset($form['#default_value']);
    $form['#multiple'] = TRUE;
  }
  return $form;
}
?>

I haven't noticed any side effects and the problem is resolved.

anyway, I hope it helps someone else too.
