111793 - go back one page will return to top of page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 112564

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[m1scha_m]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.6+) Gecko/20011123
BuildID:    2001112303

Whenever I select a news item from my ISP's homepage, or do a search and select
a link from the search page, then return to the previous page, whether or not
the link has completed loading, I am always returned to the top of the page.
This is distinct from bug 92820, which I am unable to reproduce, and bug 93413
which I have not tried to reproduce, and which certainly does not occur when two
or more separate windows are used (I am currently switching between 3 windows,
and returning to the same spot in each every time.)
This is one of those "little" bugs which will really "bug" users when Mozilla is
used commercially.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.select (click on) a news item,
or type a subject in the search box and select (click on) a link
2.(click on) go back a page
3.

Actual Results:  returned to top of page

Expected Results:  to be return to the position the page was originally at.

This has been the same in every build of Mozilla I have used.
