Comment:

 The fix is '''breaking functionality''' in the specific situation when the
 permalinks are set to the default 'plain' setting.

 Testing variables
 - p=1 > set as static home page
 - p=2 > normal page
 - permalink structure: 'plain'
 - have a 'Home' menu item
 - have the normal page as menu item

 When a page other than the Home page is loaded, the Home link is also
 receiving the 'current-menu-item' and 'current_page_item' classes.

 Whenever the permalink structure is including a '?' the relative root
 cannot be determined because the entire permalink match should be taken
 into consideration to have a certain request identification.
