I guess it is a bug. I dont know where to report it so maybe somebody can
report it if its not already reported?

This helps, but loses the cursor positioning.

Sorry. What I mean is that if I've visited pages A, B, C & D in that order,
the "back" (i.e "l") key gets me to page C. "l" again gets me to page B. A
forward command would get me to C and then to D, i.e. takes me to the most
recent page from which I pressed "l". This exists in netscape (and IE I guess).

Thanx. 
Bye,
