Notice that it happens only the first time. Surely because it is the 
only time that the right frame changes.

To retest a second time, press SHIFT+Reload

You have a very old build.  Could you try 1.3?  This works fine for me.

I have seen this problem with 

- Mozilla 1.4 alpha on Linux
- Mozilla 1.3 on Linux
- Mozilla 1.3 on WIndows

Added an URL above to help you to see the problem.

Easier step-by-step
-------------------
1. Go to http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/its3/its3.html
2. Type 'aaaaaa' in the textarea.
3. Press the button save.
4. Post is done to an unexisting page (http-404 of the ISP: ignore this)
5. Press back -> "aaaaa' has disappeared.

OK, I saw it this time, on WinXP 2003040909.  I bet this is a dup of one of our
other frame session history bugs.

dupe of "Formfield-data lost on reload if document resides in a frameset"
