Andre / Quim - very easy task for Google Code in 2013. Only danger is someone might fix it before they get a chance to.
Looks like a good GCI task. It has been around for more than a month. It might take some hours until someone claims it in GCI. Please create it.

Fix section hash url lost after reloading page in alpha
Done the task, I think. Although the fix is very simple, it was not so simple for me to find out where the bug really is... Anyway, it's browser-specific bug - there was no such problem on Firefox, though there actually was on Chrome.
Oh. It's not really a browser-specific bug; just the MobileFrontend's isBrowserSupported() (which checks if browser supports session history management) function defined in javascripts/externals/epoch.js returns true only for Chrome and iOS browser...
Anyway - I think it's time to update this function since almost all browsers currently support it - http://caniuse.com/history.
Yeh isBrowserSupported was made as limited as possible on purpose to limit testing of what is a highly experimental feature. This is changing as part of this experiment: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/100919/

Hm. I've already created a bug report, but since it's already being solved, as @Jon says, it could be not very smart...
Anyway. Bug: 59087.
