So as the new Item Categories system had been released, I noticed something very odd.
If you click on the Drugs tab for example, and then look on the list of drugs you have, you will notice that at the end of each row it shows you that they belong to the 'Drugs' category:

So after clicking on each and every tab, each item on their lists is belong to the correct tab, but I did find one tab that isn't correct.. the 'Miscellaneous' tab:

Each item on the Miscellaneous list is marked as 'Other' .. rather than miscellaneous.

I wasn't sure if it's a bug at the begining, but it doesn't seem logic that every item has it's own matching category tab while the miscellaneous tab isn't matching the items on it's list.

Miscellaneous is the name of the category, Other is the type of item. Both words mean the same thing really. I think it works fine personally.

I wasn't sure if it's a bug really, but then I thought to myself that it doesn't seem to be logic that every type has it's own category but this one.
Indeed it's the same meaning, but it still looks wierd that the type of the item is different than the category itself unlike the rest of the types and categories..
If it's not a bug and it was done on purpose, then I guess you can mark this thread as 'Fixed'. [:wink:]

I prefer 'miscellaneous' as a category, but prefer 'other' as a type of item. Perhaps we'll look in to it in the future.
