Freaky template behaviour

Howdy,

I'm probably about to lose a job I've been working on for weeks if I don't get this sorted... yet it seems so trivial.

I made a straight copy of commerce_kickstart_theme

dropped into sites/all/themes renamed everything and it works perfectly

styled it all up - client very happy except for an odd layout glitch on any node I choose to have as the home page.

"It'll be nothing" I said 10 days ago, thinking it was nothing.

Eventually I find out through placing some flags in region--content.tpl.php in the profiles>commerce_kickstart>omega>omega>templates folder that region--content.tpl.php is NOT being rendered on my home page.

If I switch theme to commerce-kickstart it is. If I switch to omega is it. If I generate a new subtheme based on Omega Kickstart 7.x-3.0 it is (but it looks nothing like the nice t-shirty site I modified). If I make a COPY of the nice t-shirty demo site and modify the name - it breaks and skips region--content.tpl.php on the home page.

This site is all but complete but the layout of the home page is screwed because of the skipping template.

Any idea what's going on - I've been staring at this for days without a clue.

many thanks

Ian

If anyone later has a problem with this, the only solution I found (5 minutes ago) is the have a dummy block render in the content region on the <front> page.

Only then will region__content.php render like it does on every other page.

I don't know if this is a bug or not. There are four other blocks rendering in the content region on every page but it's not until this additional block is there that things work properly.
