I was working on a category in my new world. I wanted to structure the sub categories and a few articles in a similar matter do a previous world I had worked on. I was in the "old editor" of my category, I then opened a new tab of WA (using dab duplicate and then switching in the duplicated tab) and switch to the other world, found the BBCode I had previously used, Copied it and pasted into my category I was working on, switching the tags and url to the correct ones. after saving and viewing the world, it showed it as if that category was in the old world,

Steps to Reproduce

1: open old editor for a category in world 1 2: open a second tab of world anvil (dublicte 1st tab) and switch to another world 3: open old editor for a category in world 2 4: copy contents from world 2 category and past to world 1 category. 5: save changes in world 1 and open the world View

You should never have two worlds open at the same time. This is not a bug it is a misuse of the system.
