From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID:    2002020406


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1)  go to http://www.washingtonpost.com/
2)  enter "kirov opera" in the "news search" field (top right)
3)  select and go to an item returned from the search
4)  view the session history (back dropdown arrow)
5)  hit the "back" button to go back to the search returned list
6)  view the session history (extra item has been added to it)
7)  repeat steps 3 through 6.
session history continues to grow as back button pressed

also (another bug?)  forward button will not go forward after one has gone back
to the search results form (after POSTDATA rebumission)
repeat sesion history view

Also, at search results form (following BACK from an item selected), one cannot
go BACK to original (previous) top page.

Reporter, Do you have any character-coding enabled. View Menu-> Character Coding.
I can not reproduce the problem as described here. Searching for "Kirov opera"
yielded 0 results. So I just searched for "Opera" and found few reaults. I
clicked on one of the results and I could go back and forward easily with no
postdata dialog. Is your cache enabled? 

Please provide more information.

Resolving as we have not heard back from reporter.
Reporter, if you still have this issue in a current build, please reopen and
comment with details.

I have this bug still in 2002100104 on W2k. This can be reproduced for example
using GNU Gnatsweb at <http://bugs.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl>. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. query for some bug
2. select bug from the list
3. clear disk and memory cache
4. go back, you get POSTDATA confirmation dialog, select OK, you get the query
list page
5. go back again, you get a new POSTDATA confirmation dialog, and the same query
results page, not the query form page as expected

Same behaviour on Linux, OS -> All, please.

Seems the test case in comment #3 is not any more showing the bug. But this url
<http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl> and with Mozilla build 2002102008 works
as a test case.

[Michael Lefevre]

using the URL in 5 and the steps in comment 3, I can reproduce this with
2002101612 on win2k. reopening.
