* Create a new HTML page with a div element
* Place a large amount of textual content in the div element
* Make the div fixed width and height
* Make the div overflow:auto so that the textual content causes the div to scroll
* Place some <a href="#section"> and <p id="section"> tags within the content (links to anchors)
* Open the page and click the anchors more than once. The address bar will change to show the anchor.
* Press the back button. The address bar will change to show the "previous" anchor but the scroll position of the overflow will not be updated - to the user, it appears as though the back navigation failed.
