Chrome home button not working

[chinesewhispers]

Hello all

 

A problem since updating to the latest chrome policies (adm) and/or chrome version to v42.0.2311.135

 

Our home button now sends users to the standard google search home page.

 

I've checked the applied policies on the clients using chrome://policy, and the correct entry is shown. The startup URL (same URL as the home button should send to) works correctly, and I've created a managed bookmarks folder with the URL and that works correctly. At the moment, for staff to get to our intranet page, they either have to close Chrome and open it again, or use the extra step of the link in the Managed bookmarks folder.

 

Is anybody else seeing the same behaviour?

OK, so it seems I have to have the 'Use New Tab Page as homepage' set to disabled for the homepage to work. Something I didn't have set in the previous policies. I've read and re-read the explanations that accompany the settings, but still can't see that this is made clear, or if this is a bug.
