Works for me using 20000120804 on WinME with logitech mouse
I've still got the problem with 20001211. Intellimouse on Win98 SE.
I see this problem with build 2000120404. It happens when you scroll up with the scrollbar, or scrollwheel, but not with the keyboard I think the rational behind it was that when you go back, you want to go back to the part of the page you last looked at (in my experience, this is generally what I want to do). As a result, it scrolls the view the same area of the page as it was orginally viewing, after waiting a bit to make sure that part of the page has loaded. I think this behaviour should be modified so that if the user has scrolled the view after the back button was pressed, it wouldn't try to move the view around.
I can reproduce the bug, linux build 2000-12-05-08. Indeed, one needs to scroll up before the page is fully loaded to see this bug. Assigning to history since that's where all the "back button scrolling" bugs seem to be.

I'd say that maybe scrolling should be linked to a onLoad handler-that would prevent this issue from occuring. This was the same solution found to "Problem navigating to different page using Anchors" or something like that...My $0.02.

I cannot reproduce this bug. Could QA test the original URL and see if they can reproduce this bug?
worksforme, win2k 2001041015.
the key to this bug seems to be scrolling before the page finished loading. Then we'd check to see where your old view was and move you there- which was the offending behavior. Well I don't have a mousewheel to try, but with the mouse and the scroll thumb this is pretty much impossible to repro. At the above url, I can grab the scroll thumb and move the mouse before the page loads but I never get any UI repsonse (scroll view, redraw thumb) until after the page finishes laoding. (which only takes a split second) I couldn't see it on any other pages either but I'd need a real slow page to be sure...

This happens to me pretty often on long pages that didn't completely load the first time (mailing list archives and such). What happens is that it seems to jump to your previous position in the page every time data comes in, and without checking to see if you've manually scrolled around since clicking back. > Well I don't have a mousewheel to try, but with the mouse and the scroll thumb > this is pretty much impossible to repro.

A slow/saturated link helps.

Marking as WFM because I've seen this bug in the time when it was reported, but now I couldn't reproduce it for a long time. (For at least 1 month.)
