 Hi.

 I was trying to create ''Custom Page Template'' named "''Darbi''". I
 created '''page-darbi.php''' template file, added '''Template name:
 Darbi''' comment line and then assigned the tempalate in page editor, but
 after save nothing changed and page was returning '''index.php'''.

 I was digging around and when I changed the page slug name to 6+
 characters long it worked so my guess is that '''the issue is with page
 slug name length and custom page template functionality'''.

 I haven't tested this on earlier versions but in stackoverflow.com there
 were similar issues with versions 4.7 and up.
