Description rwoodworth 2009-09-06 02:41:38 UTC 
How to reproduce:
1) Go to any revision history.
2) Click the datestamp on an old version.
3) Click the edit tab.
4) Scroll down and click the cancel button.

What happens: The current version of the page is displayed.
What should happen: The old version of the page (same as step 2) is displayed.
Workaround: use the back button in the browser, instead of the cancel button.

(Seems so obvious that someone should have posted it already.  But I searched several times and didn't see it.)

Many thanks,

Clarified summary.

Fixed in r56441.
Comment 3 rwoodworth 2009-09-17 22:16:28 UTC 
Wow!  Thank you, thank you.
Comment 4 Brion Vibber 2009-09-29 21:52:57 UTC 
Fix is insufficient; try for instance previewing the edit -- now the cancel link shows no oldid parameter.

Why do we even have a cancel button?  Removing it seems like the easiest fix; it's clutter.  We may as well have a back button on every page . . . that's what the browser UI is for.
Comment 6 Alexandre Emsenhuber [IAlex] 2010-02-05 15:01:39 UTC 
Corrected in r62027.
