Three different phones loading three different main pages on boot (146.08 KB, image/jpeg)

Description Dan Garry 2014-07-18 19:11:08 UTC
Created attachment 15975 [details]
Three different phones loading three different main pages on boot

1) Go to Barack Obama using search
2) Scroll down past the infobox
3) Go to any other article using search (e.g United States)
4) Go to Barack Obama using search
5) You're now at the point where you scrolled to before, rather than the top of the article.

This bug also causes strange things like an outdated main page to be loaded. See the attachment where the app was booted on three different phones, and each one showed a different main page (!!).

Basically, if you're going "back" to a page somehow (e.g. by literally pressing back), it's okay for a cached version to be loaded and for it to take you to where you were on the page. But if you're moving "forwards" (e.g. through search, or through wikilinks) then a fresh version should be loaded and it should land you at the top (or at the link to the relevant section, if the link was a section link).
