    I too have seen this behavior on my SharePoint site and I think this is a bug in SharePoint code (API call) which retrieves document libraries from current site to bind to the dropdown control.

     

    I noticed below error in developer console of browser when I selected Dynamically display images from a document library option in web part settings:

     

    The expression "Id,Title,RootFolder%2FServerRelativeUrl" is not valid.

     

    & the API call request causing this error is: 

     

    https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/<siteName>/_api/web/lists?%24select=Id%2CTitle%2CRootFolder%252FServerRelativeUrl&%24filter=BaseTemplate+eq+101&%24orderby=Title+asc&%24expand=RootFolder

     

     

    But, ideally it should be like: 

     

    https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/<siteName>/_api/web/lists?$select=Id,Title,RootFolder,ServerRelativeUrl&$filter=BaseTemplate eq 101&$orderby=Title asc&$expand=RootFolder

     

    Hope it will help you & Microsoft to troubleshoot this issue.

Would be great if there was a work around for this. Haven't had much luck yet with MS support but I'll reply again if they find out what the cause of this is.
