In Chrome at least, when clicking "Random article" repeatedly, the articles do not appear under the browser "Back" button. A random article will show up under the back button after a link in that article has been clicked, but not after the "random article" link has been clicked again.

In firefox and netsurf, the back button takes you back to the previous page. In other browsers I tested, the behavior mimic's Chrome's.

Works correctly in Firefox 12 and IE 9 for me.

Works correctly in Firefox 16.0.2 and en.wikipedia.org for me...

amirvis: Does this still happen? If yes, with which Chrome version, and on which website?

It's very annoying and should be fixed!

Still valid in Google Chrome 27.
