Default Category remains selected — even after I select a different category

  • Found more than 8,000 posts on this topic, but could not find a resolution. There’s got to be a solution.

    Problem: I have specified a default post category under Settings | Writing. However, when I create a new post, and when I select a checkbox for a different category, WordPress 3.1.1 assigns the new post to BOTH the default category and the category that I selected!

    Then, I am unable to deselect the default category. It remains checked at all times — even though I have another category selected for the post.

    I don’t want every single post going to both my default category plus whatever other category I specify.

    How can this be resolved?
