#7518: WordPress is not emitting class="current_page_item" for a page used as
static front page display

 The problem is apparent when using themes with navigation headers that
 lists user-created pages, with the latest posts as "home" or front page by
 default. One such theme is [http://wpthemes.info/misty-look/ MistyLook] by
 Sadish, which is widely used both by Wordpress.com and self-setup
 bloggers. When the user sets the front page to be a static user-created-
 page, navigating to this "home" front page does not let the header know it
 is at "home" or front page, not letting the header to highlight the
 appropriate navigation header.

 This problem has been discussed elsewhere,
 http://wprocks.com/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=1009, and has been
 determined to be a Wordpress code issue rather than theme code issue.
 Specifically, WordPress is not emitting class="current_page_item" for a
 page used as static front page display.
