 When using **Settings** > **Reading** > **A Static Page** configured as:
 Homepage (**Home**) and Posts page: (**Blog**), when you click the Preview
 button in the Blog page Editor, the Preview redirects to the Homepage and
 the preview shown is the homepage content and not the Blog page content.

 If the Settings is changed to "Your latest posts", the Blog page content
 will display.

 This happens with any page assigned to Homepage. The Blog page will be
 redirected to whatever content is on the Homepage.

 I've downgraded as far back as WordPress 6.0 running PHP 7.4, switched
 themes, deactivated plugins and tried this same scenario on two different
 hosting platforms with the same results.

 I found an old bug report from 16 years ago that seems very similar to
 this - https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4773.

 Would like to know if this is indeed a bug.
