If I'm reading a Slashdot article and click a link halfway down a very long page and get taken to another site. After I'm done reading the current page, I hit the back button. The last page loads, momentarily shows the top of the page, and then magically repositions the page to the location where I clicked the link.
How is this done? I think the browser does this for you. But then why doesn't it happen with Drupal? Maybe the clean urls are preventing this from happening? Has anyone explored ways to get this behavior to work with Drupal?
I know I can shift click to avoid the problem of losing my place but I don't always remember to do that. It's frustrating to have to scroll down and find my place again, especially in a long thread.
Thanks.

I agree, why does Drupal do this?
I believe it is to do with the cache headers and/or mechanism being used but I'm not sure of the exact reasons. Annoying for sure!
