168987 - Back button somewhat broken.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 166736

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Adam D. Moss]

This seems to be a regression which I started to see on CVS-TRUNK
in approximately the last week.

The problem is that if I follow a link on a page before that
page has finished loading then the page never gets entered into
the 'Back' button's history (ie. the page doesn't enter the
'back' drop-down list so going 'back' from the new page will
effectively go back two or more pages instead, and, if you
tickle this bug from the first pageview in a session, the 'back'
button remains inactive).

Bother!  I was just entering this bug (build ID 2002121008) for Win98.

Try this URL, which displays a page and then loads an animation sequence, giving
you lots of time to go to another page before the animation finishes loading and
so invoke this bug:
