Error description

• References to Categories / Site Area / Authoring Templates
  are not
  cleared when Menu search criteria are unchecked and Menu saved.
  
  Problem Description:
  After applying a selection criteria based on a Category, the
  references
  are not cleared even when the Menu no longer uses categories for
  filtering.
  
  How to Reproduce:
  1. Create a Taxonomy - tax_forms
  2. Create a Category - cat_insurance
  3. Create a menu component (mnu_allforms) and "Select a criteria
  to use
  when searching functions: Site Areas & Categories".
  4. Under the Categories section "Search for content items
  profiled with
  these categories: cat_insurance"
  5. Under the Site Areas section, expand the "Further options"
  and selec
  the option "Include site areas from the following sources:
  Current
  Content"
  6. Save the component.
  7. Open the category (cat_insurance) and view references - it
  should
  list the Menu as a reference.
  8. Edit the Menu and remove the checkbox at the top for
  Categories. It
  should now only have "Site Areas" selected.
  9. Save the component.
  
  The Category (cat_insurance) will still be referenced within the
  Menu.
  
  The reference cannot be cleared, unless the object can be edited
  by the
  user when trying to delete the Category.
