Bug #: 31412
Summary: Changed behavior of back button
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.18
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Blocks: 29876
Classification: Unclassified
(From [[WP:VPT]])
[Firefox browser 3.6.x under various operating systems, Monobook skin.]
While editing, I am accustomed to being able to go to a new browser destination
in the open tab, then use the back button to return to the open edit window to
resume my work. I am accustomed to doing the same thing when I encounter an
edit conflict or error message after pushing "Save Page" (that is, I return to
the previous page in the history to retrieve my work).
With the advent of 1.18, this behavior has changed, After seeing the edit
conflict message or a message prompting me to add an edit summary, if I step
back into the history using the back button, the edit window reverts to its
condition before I started my edit.
I have not tested every possible variation of this situation, but I have
replicated it with the edit conflict error and with he "no summary" message,
and I think I've seen it in other situations. It's annoying, as I have become
very accustomed to the old behavior!
