What happened?

reporting for 6.1 but probably true for all versions

Template preview loads admin template not site template when Enforce URLS without traling slash is set

In the system sef plugin set the option for traling slashes to Enforce URLS without traling slash
In the template manager options enable Preview module positions
Preview any template

Version

6.1

Expected result

Selected site template opens in a new window with tp=1

Actual result

admin template opens in a new window with tp=1

Thanks to @newlinewebdesign for spotting this

System Information

No response
