http://domain.tld/keyword searches media library for matching items when logged in

[squirrelpimp]

On my site i have a file in the media library called else.jpg. If I access ​http://lekv.de/else I get the expected 404. If I'm logged in in the backend however, I get redirected to the media item page of else.jpg (where I could download it). Also pretty permalinks have to be enabled using .htaccess files.

To reproduce, you have to create a media library item with a simple name, say else.jpg and upload it, using "else" as description in every form field. Then simply enable pretty urls, login into the backend and access ​http://domain.tld/else.

I hope, this is comprehensible.

My version is 2.8.4 DE-Edition.

So would you rate this as a bug or as a feature?

From what you explain it looks a bit too me that the cause of this error is somewhere down in the WP_Query class and the (undocumented) algorythm to decide what an URI stands for. Have you done something to find out what the cause of the reported behaviour is?

Closing as dupe of #12634 which is a more active ticket.

Not convinced this is a duplicate quite yet. In #12634 we're having trouble duplicating it.

Testing in 4.0-trunk and I can't reproduce this anymore. Did we magically fix this in the various permalink updates?
