SUMMARY
Creating a Category with a colon in the name results in a child category created in the hierarchy. Editing a Category name to contain a colon is accepted by program but results in frequent program crashes.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Edit Category as described above
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Frequent program crashes

EXPECTED RESULT
Program should reject editing a Category name to contain a colon, since it implies creating a child category.
