36543 - History does not properly restore position in page

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 16806

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[gehlhaar]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.61C-SGI [en] (X11; U; IRIX64 6.5 IP30)
BuildID:    2000041805

Apologies in advance -- this is probably already a filed bug.
However, I didn't find it on searches of 'Back' and 'History'.

When in a long page full of links, when you press on a link,
then press Back, you get put back to the top of the page, instead
of being auto-scrolled to where you left from.  This is a serious
bummer.  It works great in IE, so-so in NS 4.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.wired.com
2. Scroll to the bottom and select an article
3. Press 'Back' button

Actual Results:  After www.wired.com is re-loaded (urf!), you get put back
at the top.

Expected Results:  After www.wired.com comes back instantly :) , you get put
back
to where you were last looking.
