Workaround

  1. Navigate to the page you want to move
  2. Click move and then click Browse
    • E.g Choose a space and click space home (New location:admin>admin’s Home)

Resolution

Remove the custom layout

  • Navigate to {{<Confluence Base URL>/spaces/listdecorators.action?key=spacekey}}, and under *Content Layouts*, restore the default *Page Layout*.
