"%-of-category" field disappears from "new-item" dialog at times when it shouldn't

Description

Suppose user selects weighted categories for a gradebook and then adds categories. If a category has neither "weight items equally" or "weight by points" selected, the "%-of-category" field must be filled in to indicate how the new item should be weighted. But that element disappears from the dialog as soon as the category is selected, making it impossible for the user to fill in the value for "%-of-category". Instead, it is assigned whatever points the user assigns for that item. This can lead to the category having errors in weighting unless the user edits each one and assigns correct weighting values.

TEST PROCESS -
new site CHE 118B 01-03 sq 11, weighted categories
1 - added categories - weight not defined, weight equally, weight by points, extra credit, not included and weight equally/drop 1
2 - added new item to each category above
3 - % category option is present for all except equal weight and weight by points, as I'd expect.

QA RESULTS - pass

COMMENTS -
in an extra credit category, you can't weight items by points. you can select equal weights or enter weights manually.
why can't you weight them by points?
once you define a category as extra credit, the extra credit box is greyed out and you can't change it back to normal.
any reason for this?

this issue is related to to GRBK-593... check to see if it is incorporated by it.

So, two problems here, first the selectedItemModel is null. So what I did is if it's null, use the item model that's sent in. If that's null, the field will disappear. Second problem is that we're only putting it there if its an item. Yet the item being sent in is a category, so I changed it to check if its a category. Need to make sure it doesn't bollix anything else up.

It appears this is happening because the selectedItemModel is null. why this is, I'm still looking into.
