Hi everybody,
In a very trivial GWT client, I get a strange - reproduceable -
behavior of the History back/forward features.
In the client, there are 3 hyperlinks. Click on hyperlink 1 then 2
then 3, then go back and forward. The function onHistoryChanged() is
correctly called. Play with the back and forward buttons until the
following problem happens:
- the application is suddenlly reloaded (onModuleLoad() is called)
- onHistoryChanged() is no more called when using the back/forward
buttons.
- the history stack is corrupted : only one or two distinct hash
tokens are displayed in the URL bar when going back/forward.
Is this a bug, or anybody has an idea of what is wrong ?
Thanks for your help and comments.

Here is the code:
public class MyApp implements EntryPoint, HistoryListener {
private VerticalPanel vp = new VerticalPanel();
public void onModuleLoad() {
vp.add(new Hyperlink("zoom","zoom1"));
vp.add(new Hyperlink("zoom","zoom2"));
vp.add(new Hyperlink("zoom","zoom3"));
RootPanel.get("center").add(vp);
History.addHistoryListener(this);
}
public void onHistoryChanged(String historyToken) {
}
}
and the html:
<html>
<head>
<script language='javascript'
src='com.mycompany.MyApp.nocache.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="javascript:''" id="__gwt_historyFrame" style="width:
0;height:0;border:0"></iframe>
<table align=center>
<tr>
<td id="center"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

run GWT KitchenSink in browser and see if you are able to repet issue,
if so please rise issue for that with detailed step-by-step

Yes this is repeatable with the demo at http://gwt.google.com/samples/KitchenSink/KitchenSink.html
I didn't have to recompile the demo with some log to see the problem.
The steps:
- go to http://gwt.google.com/samples/KitchenSink/KitchenSink.html
- click on the tab Widgets
- click on the tab Panels
- click on the tab Lists
- push on the back button
- then play with the back/forward button until the module is reloaded
and History stack is corrupted
The evidence of the reloading is that the browser flashes and redraws
the content. Then some steps are lost in the history stack (visible
while playing again with the back/forward buttons)
I am using Windows XP and IE6 SP2 (version 6.0.2900.2180)
If you need more info to reproduce it, or more details, let me know

Hi Yves,
Thanks for reporting this. I just tried this out on Firefox 2.0 and IE7 and couldn't reproduce the problem. I clicked through the tabs and then played around with the Back / Forward buttons randomly for about a minute with no history failure. Which browser were you using where this happens?
To Peter's point, it could well be that this issue is related, but from the looks of it they're separate problems since visiting the application for the first time with no history token and subsequently clicking a widget that is listening for history guarantees (or at least should guarantee) that the history token exists. Let's continue drilling down on this problem in case it's symptomatic of a different root cause.
Cheers,
-Sumit Chandel

Hi Sumit,
Sorry for my late answer.
I posted a comment in
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors/browse_thread/thread/97a74385c586a940/202d926efba1dcf1
I tried a solution that seems to work for me, but I wonder for side
effects ?
Thx
Yves
