IE7 On windows XP is reloading the whole GWT Application for History
Changes some times( Adding new Token to History).It is not consistent.
( It happens randomly ).The history mechanism works fine in FireFox.
I am not sure what is causing IE to reload the application. I have
found following thread related to this problem.

I have applied FIX mentioned in the below link. That fixed the Reload
problem.

I have applied following FIX to HistoryImplIE6.java . IE7 on XP now
dont reload my GWT application anymore for history token changes.

Change HistoryImplIE6.java
In place of :

if ($wnd.__gwt_historyToken && (token !=
$wnd.__gwt_historyToken)) {
$wnd.location.reload();
}

write:

if (($wnd.__gwt_historyToken != undefined) && (token !=
$wnd.__gwt_historyToken)) {
$wnd.__gwt_historyToken = token;
}
