Hey, we encountered a strange problem when using a ClosingHandler(GWT 2.0.3) to display the browser's prompt dialog before leaving our application. We use this as a temporary workaround before having our history support wired up completely so that users do not lose data by accidently leaving the application.
The problem was encountered in Chrome. I just submitted a bug for Chromium here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=60074. However we noticed that it also did not work on IE(8) so I decided to post it here as well just in case it is also a problem with the generated JavaScript. It works in FF (3.x and 4). Now the problem: After clicking back and "Stay on this Page" the forward button is enabled and contains the history entries previously shown for the backwards history. However the browser remained on the current page. It seems like it stays on the page but internally manipulates the navigation history as if it would have navigated back, though it did not. Has anyone encountered this before? I'm not sure how much JavaScript is involved in the functionality (though I doubt it's a lot) but if necessary I could raise an issue for GWT as well.
