JR54785: Breadcrumb trail is incorrect with linked sales categories

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a category is linked to multiple Sales Category,  the
  breadcrumb trail displays shortest path on the Product details
  page.
  
  Example scenarios:
  1) When a shopper browses to a Product details page, the
  breadcrumb trail displays shortest path.
  For example, if a shopper browses to "Spring Sales > New Arrival
   > Vitamins", and then clicks any product in the list, the
  breadcrumb trail is:
  "Home\Winter Sales\Vitamins\<productName>" but it should be
  "Home\Spring Sales\New Arrival\Vitamis".
  
  2) When a shopper searches "Vitamins" and through the Category
  facet, browses the path as "Spring Sales > New Arrival >
  Vitamin", the breadcrumb trail changes to:
  Home\Search:vitamins\Winter Sales\Vitamins
