           Summary: Hash (anchor) navigation history does not work after
                    document.location.replace()
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: History
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: max.starets at oracle.com

The standalone test case below reproduces the problem.

1. After you run the page, try navigating to an anchor by wither using a link
("Test anchor link") or Javascript ("navigate" button). Note that the URL gets
updated with the new hash value.

2. Hit the 'Back' button. Instead of navigating within the same page to a URL
without the hash, the browser navigates to a previous page.

3. Try removing onload on the body - the test no longer performs a redirect,
and the anchor navigation works as expected.

This feature is very important for maintaining navigation state for AJAX
requests.

  }

}

function navigate()
{
  window.location.hash = "#test";
}
