Link to a bookmark on a page and then hit Back - not working

Post by Feebeegeebee »

Hi,
I'm producing HTML Side Nav output, using Flare 2018 r2.
I can't find this specific issue on the forums, so I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same / knows how to get around it...

I've had an issue raised where there are links within a topic to bookmarks further down within the topic.
When the user clicks on a link and then clicks the Back button (in the browser toolbar) or right-clicks and chooses Back, nothing at all happens.
However, this definitely works in older outputs, especially in tripane HTML5.
It doesn't seem to be browser-specific - (happens in Chrome, IE, Opera, etc.).

Is this a bug?
Is there a workaround, as it is not ideal?
Thanks for any help.

Just a quick update on this...
This has been confirmed as a bug in the Side Nav output. I sent an example to Madcap Support and they were also able to replicate it in a simple test project and confirm that this does not happen in versions pre Flare 2018 r2.

Disappointing to move to the new, shiny Side Nav output and lose some basic functionality. :(
It has been raised as a bug, so I hope it will be fixed soon...
