Site default page folder will disable from navigation if "Next previous navigation" is enabled.

Priority: minor Milestone: 4.x

Description

This is applicable to Plone 4.2 and Plone 4.1, and possibly even earlier versions.

If a folder is set as the site default page (using Zope Management Interface->Properties), then its tab in navigation will disappear if we enable "Next Previous navigation" in the folder settings. Undoing this enable does not bring the folder navigation tab back. To bring it back, we have to rename the folder URL name to something else.

Another possible trigger that can cause the folder navigation tab to disappear: Go to Zope Management Interface->portal_types->Topic (Collection) (or just Collection for new-style collection) and then hit the Save button.

To reproduce this problem. Install Plone 4.2. Set News as the site default page in Zope Management Interface's properties page. Go to the News folder settings and enable "Next previous navigation". The News navigation tab will then disappear. Undoing the "enable Next Previous navigation" will NOT bring back the News back. To bring it back, rename the short name of the News folder to something else.

Thank you.

Undoing the "enable Next Previous navigation" will NOT bring back the News navigation. To bring it back, rename the short name of the News folder to something else.

Ok, renaming a folder "news" to "news-placeholder" does bring the navigation back again, but if one renames "news-placeholder" to "news" again (in order to not break links) then the navigation is gone again.

Is there any workaround to fix this? I tried a to rebuild the catalog but this did not help.
