Description Alexander van Loon 2006-10-02 13:39:13 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Maybe this problem is a bit difficult to understand. I'll describe it enterily in the steps to reproduce.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to planet.gnome.org, or any other website.
2. Look at the top of the page. Click a random link in a blog entry.
3. Hit the back button.
4. Now you are looking at planet.gnome.org again.
5. Notice the "dotted line" around the link you just clicked.
6. Now press Ctrl+F to use "Edit -> Find..."
7. Type a search term which takes you to the middle or the bottom of the page.
8. Now click anywhere, be it a link or somewhere else on the website.
9. Notice that you are "teleported" back to the link you clicked in step 2.

Actual results:


Expected results:
It is very annoying that if you want to click a link which you found with Ctrl+F, you get warped back to the link you clicked for the last time. This warping should not happen.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Although I haven't taken the time to find out how to reproduce it, I confirm I've seen this phenomenon.

Indeed, this is a duplicate of the annoying bug #335226.
