  Gr.

 This is a problem with NetSurf, not the bug tracker.  Modern browsers
 annotate history information with form data.  We have a plan to do that
 too.

I would venture to suggest that it is more a problem with the bug
tracker.  The correct response to invalid input in a form is to display
the form again, with the input the user just submitted, and the
offending fields highlighted and annotated, not to redirect to a blank
(and uninformative) error page and rely on a convenience feature in the
browser to prevent the user's data from being summarily deleted.  You
need not look very far on the modern web to see examples of this in
action.  For example, most forums will do it for you.

You could make the feature request to the Mantis developers.  Anyway, 
this is way off topic for here.
