Description

The back key does not go back when opening the gui editor.

Steps to reproduce

With Edit(GUI) link:

1. Set your preferences to show both edit links
2. Click Edit (GUI)
3. The back button does not go back

Or with Edit link:

1. Set your preferences to use gui editor
2. Set your preferences to showtheoneprefered
3. Click Edit
4. The back button does not go back

Looking in the back memu, you see that the last url is the edit url, not the page view url.

Workaround

Discussion

I suspected that it is related to the "smart" handling of gui editor links, but its not, it show also on patch-125, before those changes.

Anyone remember that the gui editor back button worked in the past?

Strange:

• it works for me (Firefox 1.5b2 Linux)
• that method is not recommended, editor should be left either by save or cancel to handle edit locking correctly
  • Restricting the user not to use that button severely affects usability.

You can't recommend people how to use their browsers. The system should work well with the common way people are using it.
