(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Romulus Marius Mare]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

When I have a long HTML page, like Bugzilla, and I am clicking on one item, then
click back, the original page should be already scrolled to the original
position. It may not be a bug but more like a feature request.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a long list with URLs
2. scroll down few pages
3. click on a link, then click back button

Actual Results:  
original page is not scrolled back to the original position, but it is scrolled
to the top

Expected Results:  
original page scrolled in the start position, the position scrolled to before
click link/back

I think this is a bug because I can only reproduce it on some specific
documents, whereas the behaviour is as expected on most documents.

The following URL (a bugzilla query result) always reproduces for me.

Could this be Bug 215405? Uses Bugzilla such cache controls?
