* SUMMARY
With Safari-Leopard-Production-19168-11910.tar.gz, I have encountered a problem where returning back to a previously cached page fails to display it' content. Basically, the page is empty.

I have tracked this regression to http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/18541

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. With TOT (Tiger) or TOT (Leopard), go to http://www.apple.com/startpage/
2. After page loads, type bogus URL in the Address URL field and attempt to go to it.
3. You should get a "Safari can't find the server" page. Now press the  back toolbar icon to return to previous page ( http://www.apple.com/startpage/ )
4. After  http://www.apple.com/startpage/  loads, press the forward toolbar icon
5. After "Safari can't find the server" page appears,  press the  back toolbar icon  once again
6. Notice the page for http://www.apple.com/startpage/ is blank

* RESULTS
Returning back to the previous cached page should display it's contents but doesn't

* REGRESSION
Yes, since the doesn't occur in stock Leopard9A348.

This has already made it into our last submission, but I'm still taking a look...  if it really requires an error page and this bizarre "back - forward - back" step, I'm not sure its worth of the keyword

2007-01-29 11:44:19 Brady Eidson:
submission blocker, that is - definitely still blocker

2007-01-29 11:58:10 Brady Eidson:
I've confirmed this only happens with error pages

I think we can nuke the submission blocker keyword, but this will be near the top of my list after I'm done with my current feature work.
