@johnbillion – this has indeed been reported before so it should already be in trac.

You’re right podz, here it is.

Glad I’m not the only one seeing this. I don’t remember it prior to 1.5x, but then again I only posted posts and rarely used pages at the time.

And as you may have noticed via the ticket, it’s fixed in the next version of WordPress. ??

For those of you still using 1.5.2 and want to fix it, change line 26 (?close) in /wp-admin/post.php to this, and it will fix it:

// Fix submenu highlighting for pages.
if ((false !== strpos($_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’], ‘edit-pages.php’))&&($_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’]!=”)) $submenu_file = ‘page-new.php’;
