When a page containing a form is reloaded through the reload-button of the

form is correctly reset to its original state.

1. fill in something in the field
2. press the reload-button in the navigation toolbar
3. constatation: contents of field remains.

Actual Results:  
The fields of the form (hidden or not) retain their value.

Expected Results:  
The fields should have been reset to their original value.

Problem also occurs with a Ctrl-R initiated reload.
Problem seems not to be related to "keep form field values", since it occurs
also when disabling this feature and clearing the stored fields.

This bugs me too:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041005 Firefox/0.10.1
Is this by design?

Problem - if it's considered one - also occurs in Firefox 
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
