Why do links sometimes resolve to home.do instead of where they originally led, and how do you prevent this?

It often happens that if I back out of a page after being silently signed out and back in, I will be redirected, and instead of whatever the URL of the original page ended with, it will end in /nav_to.do?uri=%2Fhome.do%3F. This was merely an annoyance, but now I'm in a situation where it's an obstacle. I want to open multiple tabs at once in a loop (example:

window.open(urls[i])

) in a Macro for a Custom variable for a Catalog Item, but only the first URL goes to its intended destination, and the rest go to the homepage. The URLs are well formed and if I display them and click on them individually, they go to where they are supposed to go. How do I prevent them from resolving to home.do when opening them?

 

I tried it again with the same information in a non-isolated Catalog Client Script with the same result.

Hey,

 

I suggest trying this out in a San Diego sandbox and validate this is still an issue in the NEXT Experience. UI16 has many issues with tracking the current URL across multiple tabs/windows. It defaults to home.do if it couldn't find the page.

 

Best,
