107255 - URL history (back, forward, go menu) broken in 2001102806

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 107097

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Abbey]

On the nightly builds from the 27th and 28th on Linux, I am unable to
get reasonable behavior with the back and forward buttons.  If I click on
several links, then hit back, the browser jumps back to a recent page, but
leaves the 'current URL' pointer (the checked item in the Go menu) at the
page furthest 'forward'.

Even if I choose my browser's initial home page from the 'Go' menu, the Go menu
pointer is left at the furthest forward point.  This makes the browser almost
unusable if I ever want to retrace my steps back through my personal click history.

Essentially, this bug can be said to leave the 'what URL am I at' pointer stuck
at the furthest forward point.  I can click 'back', and it moves me to the
second-most recent page, but if I click 'back' again, it calculates the back
move from the furthest forward page, which would be the same one I was currently
on.  Pressing back several times leaves me each time at the second-most-forward
page.
