I've set up a simple site with Drupal. The home page is set to be node/1, and the site structure will be made up entirely of Basic Pages.

I create a second page ("About us", node/2), and assign it a menu item nested under the home page.

Problem: the breadcrumb trail for this new About page is Home > Home.

Seems a bit broken to me.

I can reproduce this, but I don't think it's a bug. "Home" is always going to be the start of any breadcrumb trail. My suggestion would be to not put anything under "Home" in the Menu. It's not a category, but a specific destination.

To clarify what @firstlut said (since I got confused myself when I read the issue): Normally, you don't want to put your Home page in your menu. Instead, make the About page a top-level menu item.

@firstlut: Of course Home is going to be the start of the breadcrumb trail, but it shouldn't be repeated twice. This behaviour is counter-intuitive, and results in something which is unhelpful and looks broken.

Yes, the workaround is not to nest things under "Home", but having to avoid doing something because it produces ugly and wrong results seems like a bug to me.

@xjm: You're correct in saying that I wouldn't normally want to have sub-menus of "Home". But a particular client of mine did want to do this, and it's not an unreasonable way to want to structure a site. It makes sense in their use-case.

I've changed this back to Active. "Won't Fix" might be more acurate, but "Works as Designed" can't be correct?
