Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 215405

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Aaron Ostrander]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040219
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040219

Reading Lucianne News forum (http://www.lucianne.com/), when clicking a posters
name, for exapmle, in the middle of the page and when returning back to posters
list with the Back Button, Mozilla returns the page at the top, not the last
position.  Only occurs after a few attempts (ie- clicking a bucnch of posters
names).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. http://www.lucianne.com/ - Go to a news item
2. Scroll down halfway
3. Click on a posters name link.
4. CLick back.
5. Repeat (either with same name or someone elses). 

Actual Results:  
Evetually it will return you to the top of the page, thus forcing you to
relocate your last position. Very annoying.


Expected Results:  
Kept the same location.

> 3. Click on a posters name link.

The link opens in a new window, no?

Reporter please try a current build and perhaps a fresh profile to test again.

I Also experience the same bug on other sites (example :
http://www.rue-montgallet.com/prix/75012/comparer/304/Cartes-memoire/, or
(sometimes on) http://www.photim.net/nci/lisdiscu.php3?Cat=N ).

I have Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626
Firefox/0.9.1 Running on XP-Pro 2002 SP 1.

I redescribe the problem :

On these sites when you scroll down to acces a topic in the bottom of the page,
if you click on a topic a new page is opened IN THE SAME WINDOW, and when you go
back you're not anymore to the bottom of the subject page but at the top.

Some friend reproduced the same bug on the same sites.

Those sites use "cache-control: no-store".  So that makes this a duplicate of
bug 215405.
