Case one

1. Set up an external document repository (e.g Alfresco)
2. Put a DL Display portlet on a page
3. Set the root folder in the portlet configuration to a folder from the external repository (not the whole repository)

Results: the folder doesn't appear in the root folder field after being chosen. Furthermore, while selecting a root folder, multiple folders can be chosen/greyed out.

Case two

1. Add documents and media portlet and DM Display portlet
2. Add folder in documents and media
3. Open DM Display portlet configurations
4. Select the folder as root folder

Results: the chose this folder/chose button will grey out but upon exiting the select folder screen the root folder field remains blank. The following browser erros is thrown:
