Tracking this internally as https://bugs.opera.com/browse/DNA-73425. We seem to had some success with reproducing itwith network bandwith 50kb/s. Also we managed to reproduce it on chromium (using different UA string there than default) and we already have logged there probably related issue https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=898134

You need to do something, because back button skips a page, and sometimes, back button is grey and can't go to previous one.. 2 months sence the last report and nothing change, i don't know why.

I say all above, because i see that you keep updating Opera in Opera blog.

I have been getting this for a long time as well. It seems to happen when I click on the search result within a second or so, waiting longer usually prevents it from happening. I thought it might be related to pending XHRs but it doesn't seem to be the case--even when there are pending ones but I wait longer, the issue doesn't occur.

The same thing, I don't use the actual back button not the keyboard shortcut. Instead, I have a mouse button mapped to the "system's" back function (through Logitech's Gaming Software). It often happens when I open a new tab (Ctrl + T, sometimes through the mouse, sometimes through the keyboard) enter a random search term and quickly follow a result link. If I want to go back Opera skips the search page and instead goes directly to the New Tab screen, going forward returns me to the clicked link, not the search results page. Essentially as if I had gone from the new tab directly to the clicked link, no search in between.

Can you map it specifically to alt + left arrow to see if it makes any difference?

I still couldn't reproduce with 50kb/s throttling and cache disabled in the developer tools.

Can you change the shortcut to do an ESC (for stop loading) first and then back to see if it works around the issue? It seems it has to do with navigation to a link and then using back when the pages haven't finished loading. Are you on a slow connection? Do you have any extensions installed? Some extensions make take a bit to analyze the pages where it triggers the bug easier.

@burnout426 tried a few things, it seems to happen if you click a link before the search page finishes loading, but only if the search is the first thing you do in a new tab.

That is:

• open new tab
• enter query in address bar
• perform search
• before results finish loading click a link
• press back/alt-leftarrow
• skip a page back to new tab

Yep. That's what I was trying. Couldn't reproduce myself, but definitely believe you.

Possible workaround:

1. go to opera://flags/#enable-history-entry-requires-user-gesture
2. set to "Disabled"
3. relaunch browser

Could be caused by a bug, where user gesture is not detected correctly before page has finished loading or something like that.

@mbartelsmanm Sorry to hear that
Then I have no idea what else to do. (I assume you have tried disabling extensions etc.)
Hopefully this gets fixed soon, because this is a pretty annoying issue.

@panosv A few days now, tried to replicate the issue but failed every-time, even though it used to be relatively easy to replicate before.
