• Fix Priority: 4

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start portal and add Navigation portlet to a page.
2. Click configuration and notice the portlet defaults to the breadcrumbs setting.
3. Stop server and in portal-ext.properties add the following.
   navigation.display.style.options=[from-level-1-to-all-sublevels]
   navigation.display.style[from-level-1-with-title]=root-layout,absolute,1,auto,true
4. Restart Server.
5. Navigate to Navigation portlet and check if the changes have updated automatically.
6. Click configuration and click on Save in order to see the changes you made in portal-ext.properties file.
7. Stop server and in portal-ext.properties change it back to original version.
8. Restart Server.
9. Navigate to Navigation portlet.

Expected result:
Navigation portlet should automatically update once the portal restarts.
Image below, Expected_Result2.png shows what it should look like after restarting the server with changes in portal-ext.properties.

Actual result:
You need to close the Navigation portlet and add a new Navigation portlet in order to see the changes.
Image below, Actual_Result1.png shows that, it did not update at all.
