* SUMMARY If you click an external link in a gmail message, then navigate to another page in the new window (using bookmarks, following a link, typing a url, etc.), the page that was originally opened can't be returned to with the back button (the button is disabled, and if you browse further the window/tab history on the back button will never show it). It doesn't even show up in the global history, either the menu or the listing in the bookmark manager. * STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a gmail email with a link in it 2. Click the link 3. Navigate to another page in the new window 4. Try to get back to the previous page through any means * RESULTS Page is mysteriously missing from history. * REGRESSION Also broken in 10.3.9; haven't tried regressing further back Apple Bug: rdar://4147975
Reassigning to webkit-unassigned for more exposure.
GMail is Google.
"rediscovered" this bug while exploring + fixing http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12117 I need to take a more seriously look at it now!!
Confirmed nothing "bad" happens in a release build other than the opened link getting left out of global and back/forward history. That noted, it may be a little while before I get to this one.
