Workaround(s)
Clicking on any Feedback item, and then pressing the browser's "Back" button, consistently loses the state of my Feedback browsing. This greatly hurts the Feedback browsing experience, making it harder to look for Feedback.

I'm using Internet Explorer 10.0.9200 on Win8 RTM.

Repro Steps:

1. Visit a Product's Feedback listing.
2. Click on the "Most Voted" tab to view top-voted Feedback.
3. Click the right arrow in the list to go to the next page of Feedback (e.g. Page 2 of 32).
4. Click on a Feedback item.
5. Click Internet Explorer's "Back" button.

Expected: I should still be on Page 2 of 32, and I should still be looking at Most Voted Feedback.

Actual: I'm back in the Open tab, and I'm looking at Page 1 of 32. It's as though I just entered the Feedback listing.

Suggestion/Idea Category:

Feedback Overview Page

Reason for Submission (limited to 3000 characters):

While looking for Feedback to investigate, repro, and upvote, I became quite annoyed with Connect's poor state management.

Benefits of Your Submission (limited to 2000 characters):

Improving the Feedback browsing experience will encourage more users to look through Feedback, finding problems they care about or have workarounds for, and up-vote or post comments about those problems. Improving this experience will result in more engaged Connect customers.

This is a variant of Feedback ID 665775. I am linking to this one for better tracking internally.
Thanks for feedback.
