Just a quick note to everyone using Seblod 4.0.6 and has issues with category list:
There is the Seblod System Plugin interfering setting the list limit hardcoded to -1 - no idea why, but if you comment out the line your category list shows up.
In the file: plugins/system/cck/cck.php
Line 195: $app->setUserState( 'com_content.category.list.'.(int)$id.':'.(int)$itemId.'.limit', -1 );
