  LPS-5242	$theme.runtime breaks site navigation
  LPS-28480	Selection Break has Edit Options again
  LPS-33278	Chat missing notification when session starts again
  LPS-21160	Community/Site with an apostrophe breaks "Resources Browser" for the community
  LPS-30524	Using Virtual Hosts when editing a web content in the AP makes you authenticate again.

If you put $theme.runtime(portletId) in portal-normal.vm of your theme before creating the navigation (by calling #parse ("$full_templates_path/navigation.vm")) the navigation will break.
isSelected() on a navItem will always return false.
The same issue was already closed for 6.0.2RC, see: http://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-5242 and http://www.liferay.com/de/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/4111600 but seems to be there again!

I'm using 6.1.1 GA2 and i have the same problem, to resolve the issue change in the VelocityVariableImpl the lines

boolean tilesSelectable = GetterUtil.getBoolean((String)componentContext.getAttribute("selectable"));
themeDisplay.setTilesSelectable(tilesSelectable);
velocityContext.put("tilesSelectable", tilesSelectable);

with these

String selectable = (String) componentContext.getAttribute("selectable");
if (selectable != null)

{ boolean tilesSelectable = GetterUtil.getBoolean(selectable); themeDisplay.setTilesSelectable(tilesSelectable); velocityContext.put("tilesSelectable", tilesSelectable); }

Now it works like a sharm
