Steps to reproduce

1. Configure a clean Dxp instance and create in LIFERAY_HOME a portal-ext.properties file with the property "asset.categories.selector.max.entries=5".
2. Start server and log in with admin user
3. Create site role "Role1"
4. Define permissions for Role1 giving every general permission in Site Administration -> Web Content and permission to add Web Content in Resource Permissions.
5. Create a new user "User1"
6. In any site go to Site Membership-> Assign Users > User1
7. In site, assign User1 site role -> Role1
8. In site > -Content > Categories create vocabulary "Vocab1" in permissions select anyone
9. In Vocab1 create 6 categories with permissions given only to the owner (cat1,...,cat6)
10. Give Role1 permission to view only cat6

• Go to Site -> Content -> Web Content -> Add Basic Web content
• In Metadata section under Vocab1 click on "Select"
