sorry, i hadn't checked back here in a while... I turned off autocomplete and that definitely did the trick.
so i guess there's two things happening here. when i do an initial search, and then click in the search box to refine the search, the first backspace stroke i do deletes the last character and Gmail automatically does a search using the original term minus the last letter. THEN, the search box loses focus and every subsequent backspace stroke is causing MP to navigate to older page views. So, i guess one problem is that it's doing the search automatically just by changing one character (which shouldn't happen, should it?) and a second problem is that the search box is losing focus, causing the subsequent backspace strokes to be interpreted as navigation commands. is that essentially what is happening? thanks for the follow up :-) On May 29, 4:56 am, Ruben Bakker <[email protected]> wrote: > Update: The problem can only duplicated when the Gmail lab feature "Search > autocomplete" is enabled.
