When back-clicking with mouse, MMV goes through all images
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Ever since Media Viewer went live I've noticed this behavior when looking at images in Wikipedia:

  • If I am in a Wiki page and click on an image on the right to view it, it opens properly in Media Viewer. I then click ESC to close the image.
  • Then if I click the 'back' button on the left side of my mouse it returns me to the popup image instead of a previous webpage.

May not sound like much but after going through several wiki pages looking at images...when I want to go back to the original page...I have to click through every cached image on the way back.

AN EXAMPLE: Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atacama_Desert and click on a few of the images on the right, closing them with ESC. Then click the back button on the left of the mouse. Kind of clunky.

Hi @Reiver45, thanks for taking the time to report this!
Is this one of the issues listed on T78224 ?

Aklapper renamed this task from Media Viewer in Wikipedia- odd behavior when back-clicking with mouse to When back-clicking with mouse, MMV goes through all images.Nov 24 2015, 3:05 PM
Aklapper set Security to None.

Thanks for looking into this. Yes I found the issue on the list you sent. Looks like its an HTML5 limitation, that its creating a history entry when viewing an image. Looks like there's no real workaround unfortunately.

Please strip unneeded full quoting for the sake of readability.

The case was T64266 ( I had sent screenshot, must have been stripped out).
