Nicole Woon I updated my post above to include more detailed information.

 

I'm able to reproduce this bug every time I click back to the page that contains the news webpart from ANY page in the SitePages library, regardless of what content is on the page. This does not appear to happen when clicking back from default list and library pages.

    I was able to come up with a workaround for the time being, while we wait and get MS to fix this apparent bug.

    The workaround is to create a document library (call it "site pages 2" or something else) edit your landing page and using SharePoint designer copy the page to the newly created document library use the page in the newly created library, now you can refresh the page and there is no problem with the filters.

    Please fill us in if If MS comes back with a patch or any update, thanks.


    PS. There is only one problem, and it only happens when you have a "news webpart" in the home page and you click on the hub icon or hub site name in the top navigation.
