 In my case, it is effecting product categories and how they display on the
 backend under the meta.

 Appearance > Menus

 Sidebar, select Product Categories. Goto View All.

 If you have several parent product categories, with nested child
 categories, eventually they will stop displaying as nested in this menu.

 It creates the problem of not knowing which product category goes with
 which parent category.

 In my case, I have some product categories that are named the exact same,
 but have different slugs. For example...

 Packaged
 - T-Shirts
 Hanging
 - T-Shirts

 The way it ends up displaying is...

 Packaged
 Hanging
 T-Shirts
 T-Shirts

 So the only way I can identify which is which, is to add both Tshirt
 categories to the menu and observe its link to see which parent it belongs
 to.


 I have currently around 150 product categories.

 I noticed this begins to happen once the menu has to create pagination. I
 am unsure currently what the limit is before that happens however as I am
 away from my computer at the moment.
