While editing a Category in browser Web UI, and pressing OK without making any changes, the web page pops up an alert dialog with the following error message: Unable to edit category.

Equivalent actions in thee native Qt GUI results in no errors or additional pop-ups.

Also, the OK button should be renamed to "Save" or "Apply".

Right click the category in the list of categories in sidebar.
