Hi Milton,
This is not the usual behavior. Probably your category organization is
wrong. Maybe this document will help you to organize your catalogs and
categories in proper way:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBENDUSER/Apache+OFBiz+Business+Setup+Guide#ApacheOFBizBusinessSetupGuide-catalogCategoryProductSetup
The most important sentence in this part of the document is "...Browse
Root (One): this category will be the parent category of all of the top
level browse categories for the catalog. It will not be visible to the
customer, but it's children will be the main or top-level browse
categories."
So you have to create one category that will be associated with your
catalog as "Browse root". Then you have to create your top level browse
categories that should be connected to your browse root category - using
ProductCategoryRollup entity. The top level browse categories should not
be associated with your catalog.
You also can check the demo data. It will help you to get the idea how
to create organize your categories.

Rashko Rejmer
