72684 - Using Back Button on a previously submitted form treat the form as new form to be submitted.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 55055

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[esther]

Here's the scenario using bugzilla
1. Enter a new bug
2. Click the link (not the back button)to go back to edit the bug
3. Edit the bug and submit
4.Click Back button 2x because you want to go back to the Enter Bug page to use
most of the existing data to enter a new bug.  
 
Result: After the second click of the Back button, you get the repost alert "The
page you are trying to view was generated from data you entered in an online
form earlier in this browser session.  If you resend the data, any action that
the form carried out (such as a search or online purchase) will be repeated.  To
resend the data, click OK.  Otherwise, click Cancel."

Expected: User should be able to continue clicking the Back button to the
original page.  In this case you can't, you are forced to Cancel or you end up
submitting a new form.  (In my scenario, a new duplicate bug).  This does not
happen in 4.7.

Um... isn't this just a cache issue?  and a dup?
