wrong class attribution for wp_list_pages when author template is called...

[tripleshift]

i recently came across this issue while studing the wordpress template system and functions.

if i got it right, "wp_list_pages" function is supposed to give a "current_page_item" class to the list item whose page is actually called.

i noticed that when the author.php template is called through "the_author_posts_link" function, and the ID of the user/author called is the same of one of the pages, the page list item generated by "wp_list_pages" gets the "current_page_item" class as well.

example:
user "john doe" with "id=3" has 3 posts and through a link generated by "the_author_posts_link" (put inside the loop) gets his post listed in a page generated through the auhtor.php template.

if the condition exists that one of the existent pages (listed by "wp_list_pages") has id="3" (the same as the user/author), then a "current_page_item" class is given to the list item containing the link to the page, even if the page IS NOT "current".

i truly hope what i wrote was clear, i truly hope i didn't file an already existent report.

bye
