Description

When i try to ender some page in control panel, Craft sometimes redirects to dashboard.
Cant really nail down some specific reason or conditions where this occurs, except that it doesnt happen when i submit some form, just when i enter page.

I tried testing Craft in private mode to eliminate possibility that its something cookie/session variable related but i still get those redirects.

Problem occurs on windows based Xampp, when using chrome (didnt tested on other browsers).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the redirect in the Craft control panel on Windows with XAMPP and Chrome, testing page navigation separately from form submission. Compare the behavior with private-mode sessions and record the specific page and conditions involved. Done means the redirect cause is identified and the affected page can be opened reliably.
