Back button loses track of page scrolling
 

I clicked the "new post" button to the left of a thread subject in the Sneaky Peek forum:

[url]http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?p=179#post179[/url]

This positioned the title bar of the first post at the top of the window.

I scrolled thru this thread until I reached Cortig's link to a screen shot. Clicking this link replaced the thread with the image.

I returned to the thread via the Back button, expecting to see the thread as I left it. However, it was scrolled to the top of the thread (as it was when I first viewed the thread).

Refresh Page shows OmniWeb 5.5sp3 is maintaining the page scrolling location. But OW appears to forget this when returning to the page via Back.

Since I was sure I've had the Back button restore scrolling location in 5.5sp1, I did some more experimenting. The problem with this forum thread is entering it via an URL with an anchor.

P.S. I sent a formal bug report to <omniweb5@omnigroup.com>.
