<span class="quote">&gt; I'm experiencing this issue as well. 4 years and it hasn't been fixed? WTF.</span >

This is not a bug.

The state object is about session history, and not the actual URL of the document.

Chromium noted this in their version of the bug (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=89165">http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=89165</a>)

&quot;This behaviour is per spec as it says &quot;Since this is neither a navigation of the browsing context nor a history traversal, it does not cause a hashchange event to be fired.&quot; See <a href="https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsers.html#dom-history-pushstate">https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsers.html#dom-history-pushstate</a> (Section 7.5.2).&quot;</pre>
