Description

[Radha on family leave (not reading bugmail)]

This bug is a break-off from 18321. The steps to reproduce are ...

1) Go to the above url
2) In the center frame, click on one of the thumbnail images to open larger
version.

3) After image is displayed in this frame, click the back arrow on toolbar.

4) Instead of displaying the previous page in the frame, it goes to the  last
site visited.

More steps to reproduce from 18321:
The offending link:
http://www.cdmag.com/Home/home.html?article=/articles/024/040/armada_preview.html
Problem description:  Browse there, pick any of the screenshots in the frame
with the article - this should replace the contents of the frame with a larger
screenshot.  Use the browser's back button.  In my case the frame did not change
back to the article - the screenshot remained in the frame.  Hit back again, and
the frame *still* didn't change, but the frame at the top (where the banner ad
is) changed to the page that originally brought me here (www.bluesnews.com).
Typing the Url http://www.bluesnews.com into the location textbox at the top
successfully reloaded the page and replaced the stuck frame.  This behavior was
reproducible every time I tried (4 or 5 times).
If you really want to reproduce the path I took, start at bluesnews and find the
topic "Star Trek Previews" in the stories for Nov 9 and follow the link from
there.

More comments from the original bug ;
This still happens at both of the original sites. However instead of skipping 2 
pages back as it was, it's skipping backwards to the last page that was on a 
different domain.

ie.

1) go to www.yahoo.com
2) go to www.pingtool.com
3) follow the message board link
4) enter into any forum, then any thread
5) press Back

You'll be taken back to yahoo.com ...

This seems to have gotten fixed with some of the checkins mscott made last week.
