 While browsing WordPress Core Trac, specifically on a changeset page such
 as:

 `https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/<id>`

 Clicking on the “Tickets” menu item in the top navigation does not open
 the expected Trac overlay/dropdown menu. Instead, it redirects the user
 to:

 https://make.wordpress.org/core/reports/

 This behavior is inconsistent with the navigation pattern on other Core
 Trac pages, where clicking “Tickets” opens the overlay menu allowing users
 to select options such as:

 1. Latest Tickets
 2. Active Tickets
 3. Create a Ticket .. etc

 Steps to Reproduce:

 Go to any changeset page on Core Trac (e.g., `/changeset/<id>`).

 Click on the “Tickets” menu item in the top navigation.

 Observe that it redirects to the Make/Core reports page instead of opening
 the Trac overlay menu.

 Expected Behavior:

 When clicking the “Tickets” menu item on a changeset page, it should
 behave consistently with other Core Trac pages and open the Trac
 overlay/dropdown menu, allowing users to choose their preferred ticket
 view.

 Actual Behavior:

 The link redirects to https://make.wordpress.org/core/reports/, breaking
 navigation consistency within Core Trac.

 Impact:

 Inconsistent navigation experience across Core Trac. Breaks user
 expectations when switching between changesets and ticket views.


 **PS: Used AI model to create a description and Subject line of the
 ticket. Also, was not having an idea where to report this, so created a
 trac ticket. I would be happy to create it on other place, where this
 should actually be.**

Comment (by sabernhardt):

 This report belongs on [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/newticket Meta
 Trac], under the Trac component.

 The behavior is inconsistent, but overriding the link semantics to bring
 content from the target page into the current page should be more
 unexpected than a link acting as a link on the changeset pages.
