241590 - focus information not saved when in history

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 36539

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, enhancement)

Description

[Manish Jethani]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040418

As you navigate through links on a page using the TAB key, the next link gets
selected each time. Similarly, it is possible to navigate through the frames
using F6. Now when you follow a link and come back, the focus does not get
restored to the previously selected link and frame. The focus information ("last
focused") is not saved in the history (wheres the FORM data and scroll position is).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.google.com/ and search for "web browsers"
2. Keep hitting the TAB key until the link for "Netscape" (netsape.com) gets
selected.
3. Hit ENTER to visit Netscape's website.
4. Come "Back" to the Google search results page.
Actual Results:  
The focus is not set to the Netscape link. Hitting TAB again starts the
navigation from the top of the page.

Expected Results:  
The focus should be set to the Netscape link, since it is the "last selected
control" on that page.
