Steps to reproduce:
1) Submit an app with two categories.
2) Notice only one categories is listed on the detail page (in the breadcrumb).

I thought we brought this up a long time ago and decided to only let people put their apps in one category.  CCing Bryan and diane.

If a user filters by games and finds App A.  and then they filter by music and find App A, that is good for App A and for the user.

But honestly, I don't have a strong opinion here.

I don't understand comment 3.  If no one else chimes in limiting it to 1 category is fine.

The way I read comment 3 is that multiple categories help users find more relevant apps so we should allow multiple categories :)

Another way to look at this is bug 753088 where the user was depending on the breadcrumbs to trace a specific path. The user clicked on the Music category, viewed a music app, then used the breadcrumb to go back to Music. That problem is easy to solve: we can just make the breadcrumbs reflect the last category viewed (if there was one).
That's the easy case.  What do you show when I search for "adblock" and click on it from a search result?  Or my friend sends me a link to the detail page?

is the current behavior a problem in those cases? :) I'd say no.
