I'm browsing in English.

Aux Yeux De Tous : Genre : Thriller. Change appears on the "changes" link of the film. But no language, and genre aren't modified in the film card.

I'm having trouble with genres too. Whenever I add a genre, it appears in the list initially, but when I refresh the page, it has disappeared again. All the genres I enter are shown in the changelog, however. I'm using English (UK).
Here's a list of genres I've unsuccessfully attempted to add:
This is obviously really annoying; could someone look into it? Thanks in advance.

It's a known bug. There's an open ticket for it and I'll try to find some time for this in the next week or two.

Can you guys add some genres to a couple movies and let me know the results? There's been a few changes but I was never able to completely replicate this issue.

Did you get an error? Because it looks like it added it properly… I'm seeing "Comedy" on this entry. The language field isn't present as part of a genre change. So you don't need to worry about that.
