      Description

      A well known 'rule' of the web is not to compromise the functionality the browser's back button

      Unfortunately, the admin pages do this. 

      To reproduce....

      • From the flat menu, choose site administration
      • Select (for example) Appearance tab and then theme settings
      • The theme settings form appears. 
      • Press 'back'

      You would expect to be back to the previous page - the Appearance tab. However, you are not. You are viewing the first tab of the administration menu.
