Applying theme breaks multistore catalog navigation

[apiuser]

Feature request from Ctucker9233, posted on GitHub May 23, 2016

Steps to reproduce

1. Fresh install of Magento 2 from CPanel
2. Create 2nd root category with subcategories
3. Create 2nd website, store and store view Note: At this point I could visit my base url and see no categories (I didn't add and categories to the default root category) then go to my new url which didn't have styles applied to it and see my categories and subcategories.
4. Apply magento blank theme to new store view

Expected result

New url has selected theme applied and catalog navigation shows categories with subcategories

Actual result

New url shows the default theme (luma) and catalog navigation does not appear (remember, no subcategories in the default root category)

Hi @Ctucker9233 !

Create 2nd website, store and store view

Have you configured multiple Websites with Apache or Nginx?

Apply magento blank theme to new store view

Have you flushed Magento cache after switching the Theme?

Configured with Apache and Magento cache completely flushed.

Any thoughts on this issue? I was able to get it working simply by including the store name in the url and disabling the "route to base url" option. I'd prefer to set it up in the way the documentation says to so that nothing could possibly break in the future.
