222719 - "Back" loses place on previous page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 217120

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Joe Kallar]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

When using the "back" button or via keyboard navigation, mozilla loses it's
place on the previous page. For example, if you are looking at a list of items
on ebay.com, clicking on an item towards the bottom of the page, and then
clicking or going "back" to the previous page list of items, you are returned to
the top of the previous page list of items, not the location on the page from
which you clicked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look at a list of items (ebay.com)
2. Scroll down to an item not visible from the top of the page
3. Click on that item
4. Click/keyboard "back" to previous page
Actual Results:  
Browser returns to top of previous page. Browser does not return to the
view/section of the page from which you clicked. You have to re-navigate down
the page.

Expected Results:  
Browser should have returned to location from which link was accesssed.

This has happened recently, ie. Mozilla 1.5 or 1.4. This did not occur in
previous releases, although I don't recall which release.

URL, please?  This is working for me with a current trunk build on all the pages
that I've tested.... (except the bugzilla query result pages, but that's a known
issue).
