Identifier	#5558
Issue type	Minor issue (breaks specific functionality)
Title	Catalogues under automatic main menu go to a category when they should go to the main catalogue page
Status	Closed (cannot reproduce)
Tags	Roadmap: v11 (custom)
Handling member	Deleted
Addon	General / Uncategorised
Description	As I had done in sites prior, I made a catalog with 8 categories. I duplicated the fields and structure along with settings applied from v10.44. Here is a bug of sorts I ran into. After completing the catalog and categories and adding 1 entrance to observe I found my catalog under the content menu, when you click on the catalog it does not go to the main page of the catalog but defaults to one of the categories with no other choices given and no option to finding the other categories. Seems there exists a bug that does not point to the catalog home but points to a category instead to the menu bar. When adding a catalog with sub-categories it should default to the home display page not to a single category. I should not have to put a redirect in to display the page listing the catalog contents doesn't make sense.
Steps to reproduce	Add a catalog, Add categories save all go back to the main page to find it in the top menu bar, under contents the catalog appears. Click on the catalog and it takes you to only one of the categories with no display of other categories and is set to one category view. I then had to remove it from the address to point it manually to the catalog home page where it displays all the categories correctly. default address -> localhost/V11/site/index.php?page=catalogues&type=category&id=poetry-home%2Fcategory Changed it manually to -> localhost/V11/site/index.php?page=catalogues&type=category&id=mycatalog-home
Funded?	No

If I recall, if I go to the top menu bar and change the link it will remove the automatic linking association to other added pages to the menu so I remember long ago I had to make the link a hidden redirect which was a pain because I didn't know how at that time. V10.44 may still have this issue as well. Not sure but will investigate if it was addressed long ago.

Yeah that seems like a User Experience issue. I'll take a look.

It likely exists in v10 as well.

I would not classify this as a major bug though; major bugs are reserved for issues that cause significant site crashes or could be in violation of laws governing privacy / the internet. I updated the issue to minor bug and also made your title more concise (as it's used in changelogs)

Can you please show me a screenshot of your "edit catalogue category" screen for this catalogue? I need to see if it's a tree or non-tree based catalogue, and if there are multiple parent categories, to fully understand what is happening.
