451385 - Visited link highlighting not handled after going back

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: History: Global, defect)

Description

[Dave Townsend [:mossop] (PTO until Aug 21st)]

Visit a google search results page.
Click one of the results.
Go back.

The result you clicked should be highlighted purple, but it is still blue.
Reload the google page and it will go purple.

I can reproduce this bug too. However, I cannot reproduce this bug on other sites.

Maybe, the component should not be "Places".

I'm seeing this on ebay search listings.  Click on an item, go back to the search listings, and it's not purple.  Reloading the search results does NOT change the color to purple for me.  This started with the last self-installed update.

I don't think this is actually a bug. If you check what Google's doing, they change the URL of the link as you click it... in any case, it's not serious enough to block.

I can't reproduce on latest Nightly (49.0a1) on Windows 10 and Mac OS.X 10.11. I will close the bug as WFM. If anyone can still reproduce the issue on a current build fell free to reopen it.
