Shortcode does not work on home page

Hi,

Starting from a fresh install of WordPress using the official Docker image.

I am adding a shortcode with a plugin. To test I have added this code to my main plugin file so I am 100% sure it is running:

add_shortcode( 'name', 'demo_shortcode_callback_function' );

function demo_shortcode_callback_function($atts, $content, $shortcode) {
	return "Welcome to WordPress";
}

If I use the shortcode [name] in the “Hello World” blog post then:

1. When I view the site from the root the shortcode does not work
2. The shortcut works if I visit ?p=1 and show just the “hello world” page.

It happens if I use the visual editor, or if I use the code editor.

It happens when using either of these formats in code:

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Welcome [name]!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Or this one:

<p>[name]</p>

This seems to be an issue with the theme.

Is this a bug? Or is it deliberate that the shortcode doesn’t seem to work on the homepage?
