Ghost permissions from deleted categories? was created by jrodgar

I think I have found a bug but I haven´t been able to reproduce it

I have found that some groups have permissions on categories that I haven´t grant

It is possible that the category was granted permissions for a group, later deleted and finally, when I added a new category this one had the same id? what about deleting groups?

Unless otherwise indicated:
Joomla 3.8.1
Flexicontent 3.2.1.7

Hello

if you create categories via FLEXIcontent category manager
or via Joomla category manager

then it is not possible for a new category to get the id of a category that has been deleted
this because the new ID is not specified, the 'id' column is an AUTO-increment column

The applies to everything, items, fields, files, etc,
and it applies to almost all Joomla extensions too

only way to get a new category to get the id of an old deleted category is to make it with a custom SQL query
that specified the ID
