 - Fixed a bug where named image transforms generated by the `craft` asset transformer were stored and indexed by their parameters rather than their handle. ([#20588](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/issues/20588), [#20594](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/pull/20594))
 - Fixed an error that occurred when transforming an asset that its asset transformer can’t transform, such as a video, via GraphQL or the transform arguments of `asset.getWidth()`, `getHeight()`, `getFormat()`, and `getMimeType()`. The asset’s own URL, dimensions, format, and MIME type are returned instead. ([#20588](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/issues/20588), [#20594](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/pull/20594))
 - Fixed a bug where `asset.getUrl()` and `asset.url` returned `null` for assets that their asset transformer can’t transform, when a transform was set, rather than the asset’s own URL. ([#20588](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/issues/20588), [#20594](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/pull/20594))
+- Fixed a bug where saving plugin settings with “Save and continue editing” or <kbd>Command</kbd>/<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>S</kbd> could redirect to the front-end homepage. ([#20619](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/pull/20619))
 - GraphQL transform arguments now accept `immediately` again, which asks the asset transformer to generate the transform before returning its URL. ([#20588](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/issues/20588), [#20594](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/pull/20594))
 - Asset transform drivers now receive whether the transform should be generated immediately in `$request->immediately`, including legacy image transformers. ([#20588](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/issues/20588), [#20594](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/pull/20594))
 - Added `CraftCms\Cms\Asset\Data\AssetTransformRequest::$immediately` and `$namedTransform`. ([#20588](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/issues/20588), [#20594](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/pull/20594))
