Version 1.5 Back Button Behavior
« on: February 11, 2009, 22:08:20 »
We've experienced several instances where backing out of a report either by using backspace or the browser's back button will quickly show the page that you requested only to then reload to the page you were on before clicking back.

This becomes a pain when browsing through multiple reports looking for certain data.

This is by default because teh Back button would sometimes show a page that was not up to date, so we "disabled" it.

If this gets to be a PITA for many of you users, we could add a switch to disable  this behaviour - anybody else hates it?  ;D

After upgrading from 1.4.7.1 to 1.5.4, it took a few days, but some of the users noticed the missing back button feature when attempting to do multiple custom reports (changing a few items each time.) The workaround of clicking the Home tab or exporting to CSV hasn't raised too many protests yet, but working with outdated info on a page has not been a concern previously.

You can change this property in 1.5.4:

Code: [Select]
#Disable the history back navigation button in browsers
default.disablebackhistory=false

to disable the new behavior.
