Page widget - create new object behaves strangely

What’s The Bug?

When I create a widget from a page and click on the + on that widget, a new page is created with a strange block inside whose purpose is unknown to me.

How To Reproduce It

  1. Create a page
  2. Create a widget from that page
  3. On the widget, click the + icon to create a new object (a page in this case)
  4. The new page that is now created is not empty, it shows a fomatted text block with the name of the page, it is no subpage.

The Expected Behavior

I would actually expect an empty subpage to be created to the widget page.

Additional Context

Additionally, watch the video when I create test page 2 and see how the first letter of the title (“T”) is automatically deleted on the first attempt.

Did you check your templates?

It seems to have nothing to do with templates. I have deleted all existing templates, I have created a new clean space - the behavior is exactly as described and shown in the video.
Are you not able to reproduce it?

Umm, you create Page, then create widget of that page and then add links to this page, so this is why link block is created. Maybe adding link block is not so obvious behaviour, but this is how it works.

No, I bet this is not how it should work. Please watch the new video.

This is what happens:

  1. Given a widget created from a page named “Test Page”
  2. On that widget I hover over the + icon on the right side of the widget - a tooltip pops up saying: “Create new Object”
  3. I click on that + icon
  4. A new page is created with a link to itself. (The link is created on the same page!)
  5. I give the new page the title “This is a new page”, the link on that new page also gets the same title

This is what one expects:

  1. Given a widget created from a page named “Test Page”
  2. On that widget I hover over the + icon on the right side of the widget - a tooltip pops up saying: “Create new Object”.
  3. I click on that + icon
  4. A new page is created - and the link to it is created on “Test Page” (And not on the new page!)

What’s the difference?

Expected: The link to the new page “This is a new page” should be created on the “Test Page” (so the link would also show up in the widget).

Currently: Instead, the link to the new page is created on the new page “This is a new page” itself, which of course doesn’t make sense.

Long story short: the link is on the wrong page.

Yep, I’ve got the problem, fixed now

This issue has been fixed by the Development Team and will be implemented in an upcoming release.
