txp:category & txp:category_list tangling?
Hoping someone might spot the error of my ways. I have been scratching head for hours over this and can’t find a related discussion.
I am on a category page say ?c=aaa-2009
Using txp:category outputs the correct category when I place near the top of the <body>. Incorrect when placed at the bottom.
Sprinkling txp:category tags throughout the page code, I can see the correct category is being lost in the menu code where txp:category_list is used to display some subcategories – including the page’s own category.
The output from <txp:category /> changes to match the current category_list category after each loop through.
Is this intentional ?
I’m using txp 4.0.7 still for this site.
I have worked around the problem for now by collecting the category into a txp:variable before the menu code.

From memory I think there was a bug in category_list that caused this behaviour in 4.0.7. It was fixed in 4.0.8.
