Describe the issue

It seems like when editing the a Genre name to a name that already exists (Like Changing "Science Fiction & Fantasy" to just "Science Fiction"), the Genres doesn't Merge like before. It seems to have 2 separate Genres that have the same name.

When under the Utility it only shows 1 but when in the filter number Library it will show multiple.

When i go to search to add another Genre the Modal gets locked.

The Modal is stuck open and I have to refresh the page.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Audiobookshelf version

2.7.0 (Tried 2.8.0 but some issues with deb version)

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Debian/PPA

Updates have been made on newer versions. I know you can't update because of the ProxMox error message but some of this is fixed already
