- Expected Behaviour
- 1 Apr 2019
- Medium
- Build: 3.9.4
- # 24438
Steps to reproduce the issue
Download and install Joomla 3.9.4. with "sample data english blog".
rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess in joomla root directory
Enable SEF urls in joomla global configuration (no need to enable url rewriting)
Type "yourdomain.com/rubbish" - you get the "error" page and "not found" shows correctly.
Now type "yourdomain.com/1" or "yourdomain.com/1rubbish" or any url that starts with number and you get the "home" page and no error is shown at all
Expected result
error page should be shown
Actual result
Home page shows
System information (as much as possible)
Any system spec
Additional comments
I believe that this change was introduced in on eof the last few versions of Joomla as this used to work.

Pretty certain that this is a known issue when you use a number that matches an article id

No. It's like @brianteeman says. And it's the known and "correct" behavior at least since Joomla 2.5. BTW: you can use it for short urls (nice side effect).
Use "Modern URL Routing" plus "Remove IDs from URLs" to get rid of it.

Can't confirm on a quick Test on a 3.9.4-Livesite, got always 404 as expected.
