The go back arrow button is fubared

[mikeydsc]

Im in the discussion forums and trying to go back 1 page doesnt work properly. Sometimes it just refreshes the page I am on and other times I end up back in my library page. I cant go back to the topic selection page at all without reloading the discussions page.

You really needed more testing of this messed up update.

Yep, broken.

Try restarting the client. It fixes the issue for me, at least temporarily as it does come back latter on.

Its a fresh load.

Find any arbitrary internal link to another page on Steam.
Middle-click it.

This will open a 'normal' Chromium browser window skinned in Steam's look and feel.
The back/forward buttons appear to work normally here. So use that for any of your browsing needs in the Steam Community (and/or the Store, I suppose?) and use the 'main' window exclusively for the library.

It works normally, because it appears that it's just a normal stock CEF/Chromium window. And not the tomfoolery Valve built to try and wedge in their custom styled UI parts.

Note though: this one allows you to create new additional tabs to pages outside of Steam.
Given that the embedded browser is still a very outdated Chromium, be careful with that.

So does the forward button. I click back, nothing. I click it again, it jumps me to a random page. I click forward, it jumps me to a random page again, neither of which I'd even viewed in this instance of steam. What the ♥♥♥♥.

This appears to be fixed in the beta update released just minutes ago.

I just went back 15 or so clicks, back to that link I posted, with no issue.

yea, seems to be better now... not sure what it was but was just screwy and UI just didn't know where it was supposed to go.

Navigation links client wide just seem to behave however they please and rarely go to or do what they should.
How in the world do you break web browsing so horribly? I now need to use my actual web browser to interact with Steam because the client is so broken.

[C²C^Guyver |NZB|]

Hmmm upon messing with it more, it seems to work and then go nuts. I think it has to do with loading the page and not the button itself.

[Overseer]

Yes this is annoying. Alongside the taskbar item not bringing back the client to front, those two really bug me.

[mikeydsc]

The back button is still fubared in the discovery queue. So sad Steam messed up so bad and its taking this long to restore basic functionality that was fine not to long ago.
