Description

Using the "HideCategories = (CharacterMovement)" specifier in the UCLASS macro will cause the Details panel of a derived blueprint to not display any information for the CapsuleComponent, Mesh component, or CharacterMovement component.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open UE4 (any project)
  2. Add new class based on Character (MyCharacter)
  3. Create a blueprint based on MyCharacter
  4. Add the following to the UCLASS specifier in MyCharacter.h 
    HideCategories = (CharacterMovement)
  5. Compile

Result:
After the compile/hot reload, selecting any BP component other than the Arrow Component will not show anything in the Details panel
