           Summary: History traversals to a new document do not get the
                    popstate event
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Page Loading

History traversals to a new document do not get the popstate event.

In
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/history.html#the-history-interface
in section 6.11.9 step 10 the spec states:

"If the specified entry is a state object or the first entry for a Document,
the user agent must activate that entry."

The *only* session history traversal that does *not* meet these requirements
are fragment scrolls without state objects.  Basically the spec is saying that
any time you go back or forward any number of steps and the resulting
navigation creates a new document, you should get a popstate event (even if the
state object is null).
