In my WordPress 3.8 in my “Permalink Settings” I’ve chosen the option “Post name”. Then I’ve added “Optional” for “Category” ( %category%/%postname% ), the URLs works like I wanted – http://example.com/categoryname/postname – however this rule doesn’t apply to the editor – when I create new post or edit the existing post the URL in editor is still http://example.com/postname, so when I click on View Post or Preview Changes it redirects me to this wrong URL which shows Page Not Found.
Any help/ideas? what am I doing wrong?

You want to select the option Custom Structure, not Post name, and insert /%category%/%postname%/ there. The Category base under Optional is the base for Category Archives, not single posts.
