Description Sam Davis CLA 2010-11-19 20:17:15 EST 
# From the search view, open a task that is not in your task list
# Click "add..." to add it to your list. It appears under "Uncategorized"
# Add yourself to CC on that task (you must have a query that will find tasks on which you are CCed to see this bug)
# Synchronize. The task appears both under the query and the "Uncategorized" folder. It should be removed from the latter.

Using the task editor explicitly adds the task to the Uncategorized folder. That folder is not automatically managed unlike other folders such as Unmatched. Therefore, I believe it would be unexpected and inconsistent if a task was automatically removed from the folder. 

Maybe we could improve the name of the Uncategorized folder as I have seen others get confused by that as well. Particularly because the folder always exists even in an empty task list. Any suggestions?

The tooltip should also be improved since it says it is for "local tasks."
