Homepage diverting to dashboard.action#xxx

Dear Community,

After careful construction of a new Confluence landing space ABC, I set it as the default landing space and ran a heat-map analysis over its usage. 

To my surprise, I found that the users landed on the correct space, but got diverted to the https://instance/ABC/dashboard.action#xxx page instead of the intended https://instance/ABC homepage of the constructed space.

As google is your friend, I found a similar bug in the cloud instance from way back in 2021:
CONFCLOUD-72748 

We're running confluence 8.5.4. Should I register this as a bug?

This does sound like a bug, especially if the default landing space is correctly configured but users are consistently redirected to /dashboard.action#xxx instead of the intended space homepage. Before reporting it, I’d verify the space’s homepage setting, test with a clean browser session, and check whether the behavior occurs for different user accounts. If it’s reproducible on Confluence 8.5.4, I’d definitely raise a bug with the reproduction steps, configuration details, and screenshots/heat-map evidence.
