Summary	0007580: Variants don't show up under a category, if parent product isn't assigned
Description	If I assign variants without the parent to a category, they are not listed in the frontend under their category.
Steps To Reproduce	1. Log into backend 2. Master Settings -> Core Settings -> System -> Variants -> check "Display Variants in Assignment Lists in eShop admin" 3. Master Settings -> Core Settings -> Perform. -> make sure "Load Variants in Lists (Search Results, Categories). This uses ..." is checked 4. Administer Products -> Categories - Create a new category 5. Assign a variant of a product to the new category and save it 6. Go to frontend and open your new category 7. You won't see a product.
Additional Information	I tested it in v7 and v6.5. It didn't work.

If you directly go to a variant and assign it from the Extended tab, you can always assign it to a category. Unfortunately I do not know if we can easily fix that, as the shop only has a very thin layer between a variant and an ordinary product. (Which has already helped a lot in projects for both imports and customizations.)
