#63473: Most recent tab in classic menu is not showing special pages (front, posts,
privacy policy)

 Reporter:  zodiac1978    |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect (bug)  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Menus         |    Version:  5.3
 Severity:  normal        |   Keywords:  needs-patch
  Focuses:                |

 Steps to reproduce:

 * Spin up new WP installation
 * Create three new pages (home, privacy policy, blog)
 * Set up the page as privacy policy page (Setting -> Privacy)
 * Set up the homepage and posts page accordingly (Settings -> Reading)
 * Set up a classic theme (no FSE)
 * Look at Appearance -> Menus in the sidebar below "Add menu items" and
 choose "Pages"

 The "Most recent" tab does NOT show any of the newly created pages.

 Only "View all" or "Search" does reveal those pages, although they are
 newly created and should shop up as "Most recent" in this case.

 This was introduced in #37782 (WordPress 5.3) and I'm not sure if this is
 useful this way.
