In the "Create new account" page, when user enters a username and email address and then clicks the Create new account button, Drupal redirects to the home page. Unfortunately this totally confuses the user because Drupal does not say anything about what to expect next. It turns out that the following message is indeed posted to the Create new account page:

"A welcome message with further instructions has been sent to your e-mail address."

However user doesn't see it because the page has already redirected to the home page. I have seen number of similar issues posted but the resolution does not seem to be clear. Is this a known problem or am I using Drupal incorrectly?

I can't reproduce the bug described above. On my test site a new registered user is redirected to the front page and the message you mentioned is shown (works as designed). The usability problem (future of the registration workflow) are discussed here #162037: Redirect to account/site information after account creation. Please post your usability issue and ideas there.
