Comment (by nuadagency):

 Thanks @SirLouen — I went through your test setup step by step and can
 confirm that, under those conditions (WP 6.8.1, custom taxonomy with the
 same ID as a page), the issue does not occur. So your reproduction path is
 valid in proving that not all object ID collisions cause the bug.

 However, I want to clarify that in the original reported instance (also
 updated to 6.8.1 now), the issue still persists — specifically:

 A page and a product_cat term share the same ID

 Both are in the navigation menu

 Visiting the product category archive (e.g., /product-category/kat/) still
 results in both items being marked as current-menu-item, which is
 incorrect



 @audrasjb — since you mentioned earlier that you were able to reproduce
 this, could you possibly share:

 The exact environment/setup used for reproduction?

 Any specific conditions (menu structure, object types, filters/hooks) that
 triggered the bug on your end?

 This could help pinpoint why it still appears in some WooCommerce
 installs, but not others — even on the same WP version — and clarify
 whether the root cause is in core or indirectly introduced via
 plugin/theme behavior.

 Thanks in advance!
