 This problem may be related to #14084, but this report is specific to the
 behaviour of the Categories Widget.

 - Create a custom post type eg. "Products"
 - Create a category eg. "Photographs"
 - Add some posts of type Products, assign them to category Photographs
 - go to the blog page and the Categories widget lists Photographs as a
 category
 - click on Photographs
 - the "Nothing Found" post is shown.

 There are no normal posts of category Photographs, but the widget lists a
 category that returns nothing.  I would have expected the widget not to
 list a category that has no normal posts.
