Forum can not appear in multiple containers

Problem/Motivation

Drupal allows a forum to appear in multiple containers via the taxonomy module. This is great because some forums can be classified into multiple categories (containers). However, it does not display the mulitple classified forum correctly at the top hierarchy level (first level). It only shows the first instance of the forum in the first container that it appears. However, when one clicks on the other containers containing the multiple classified forum, Drupal will display the containers' forums including the one that was originally not visible, the multiple classified forum. Drupal should be more consistent and display the multiple classified forum in all containers at all hierarchy levels. Or at the very least, make it a feature to enable or disable this.

Additional problem was uncovered in comment#11. [If I understood it, I would explain what it was.]

Proposed resolution

See comment #21 for proposed solution.

Remaining tasks

Write code for feature to enable single forum to be related to multiple containers.
Write some tests.

User interface changes

Forum containers work properly with the same forum in multiple containers.

API changes

None.
