Three persistent issues with categorizing downloaded transactions

As the subject says, I'm still seeing three problems with the workflow for categorizing downloaded transactions. They greatly increase the time needed to categorize my transactions.

The first problem is that when categorizing, tags are not coming over. That is, if the proposed transaction has tags, then after accepting the proposal, the incoming transaction will not have any of the tags. This means I have to accept, then go and open the transaction for editing, add the tags, and commit my changes. This is a lot longer than just accepting, of course.

The second problem is that when I edit the original transaction, the transaction proposal does not change. I think it is more than reasonable that, if I manually edit a transaction, then the manually applied changes are the ones that I want, and the proposed transaction should switch to the original transaction.

The third problem is that the category field only displays the lowest-level category. I have separate accounts set up for each of my cars, and each has a subaccount for fuel. Obviously, each car get filled up sometimes at the same gas station. When these transactions come in, the proposed category will just say "fuel," without any hint as to what the higher-level categories are. This means I can choose to accept the categorization, but then I have to go back to the register, and open the transaction for editing to confirm that I have the right category applied. As far as the register is concerned, I have no problems with displaying just the lowest-level category. It's only in the categorization area at the bottom that I'm missing a view of the higher-level categories.
