107757 - Back button seems to "forget" history

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 103978

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[fry]

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

Previously viewed pages are stored in the global history. However, at times it's
impossible to navigate to them using the "Back" button -- after a session of
browsing through 6-7 links that button will often appear "grayed out" or even
take me back directly to my start page. Seems to happen most frequently on cnn.com.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to an affected site
2. Navigate through multiple pages


Actual Results:  Visited pages may show up in global history window but, for
example, not in the "Back" button drop-down menu.

Expected Results:  Recently visited pages should show up in "Back" button
drop-down and should be navigable using "Back" and "Forward" buttons

Slackware Linux 8.0, mostly stock installation, under KDE 2.2.1 and KDE 2.1.1 on
various machines.
