This happens only the first time. If you do the "forget about this site"  again, the hostory page will remain in the front. To repro again, restart the browser and then open history page.


This is reproducible randomly in current profiles and fresh profiles.
When i try to do a screenr, this is *never* reproduced. I suspect this is either a :

1. Windows issue.
2. Related to plugins (not extensions) and dependent on if the site stores some special type of data like cookie, image something something.  I have tried disabling/enabling plugins in various combinations but cant confirm reliably what causes this.
