Hi,

I've been using K2 for a few days, and right after explaining one of my editors how to use K2, I noticed something odd.

Most of our categories are 2nd level ones, but two of them are 3rd level categories, e.g:

Entertainment (1)
-Game News (2)
---Xbox 360(3)
-Reviews(2)
---Consoles (Lvl. 3)
-Columns(2)
- Blog(2)

No problems so far. But when I use the "Latest Items" module for K2 on my front page, I noticed something strange. There's no problem when I use a 2nd level category (e.g Game News).

But when I post an item for a 3rd Level category (Xbox 360) it will be show as latest for Game News (expected that); but also for EVERY category below; which the category isn't even related to. If I post it to Xbox 360, it will also be displayed as latest for "Reviews", "Blogs" and "Columns".

I tried this with the other 3rd level category too, and BAM! It appears as latest item for all the items in the categories below.
edit:  As it turns out, the problem doesn't take place when the category of the item is included in categories to display, e.g I add 'Consoles" to the list of categories to display.    
As you can imagine, this puts me kind of in a tough spot, as I was *hoping* to use K2 to customize my category structure.edit:  if you're fast, you can see what I mean by visiting my site:  www.toretto.beyou won't be able to read it, but you'll get the idea when looking at the bottom two articles.  'Games' does deff.  not belong to both Colums and Blog...
