Description

Some time before 3.0, using escape (or the "back" button in the UI) to back up a navigation point in the graph-view after navigating a long edge was broken.

It appears to work fine for linear view, just graph views appear to be broken.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in graph view: double-click an edge routed off screen, then use Escape or the UI back button. Compare this with linear view and trace the graph-view navigation path; done means backing up returns to the prior navigation point reliably.
