105916 - 'back' skips 1-4 pages sometimes

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 103978

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Kurt Sussman]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012
BuildID:    2001101202

Sometimes the back button and menu skip pages, occasionally leaving the
currently-browsed site entirely. Since it's intermittent, I haven't found a
pattern, but it seems to happen most after submitting a form.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to morningstar, do a fund screen
2.select a fund's link, then click the 'back' button
3.if that doesn't show the bahvior, try using the right-click menu

Actual Results:  The browser often (about 50% of the time) does not go the the
immediately previous page, but skips farther back.

Expected Results:  'Back' means 'back one page', right?

I normally browse with Javascript off and multiple browser windows open (from
the same app; start one and hit ^n a few times).
