Login Redirect Issue after 3.7 upgrade

Question

After upgrading to 3.7 i got an issues with one of my site. This site is user only, when trying to access it it should (was until 3.6.x) redirect you to a login page, after the 3.7 upgrade it gives a The page isn't redirecting properly error.

To recreate the issue just set a new 3.7 joomla installation home menu item to Access = Registered

• http://localhost/testjoomla
• will redirect to: http://localhost/testjoomla/index.php/component/users/?view=login&Itemid=101 (ERROR)
• Removing the: &Itemid=101 (WORKS)

Tested with php 5.5.30 & 7.1.1

See answer on github: Blank pages in Joomla 3.7 when System - Page Cache is activated #15691 https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/issues/15691

Answer 2

Creating a Login Menu Item solves this bug. System Page Cache must be turned off, another bug of 3.7
