Description

When you click the "Back to Packet" button from the codes/packet_file page, it uses a breadcrumb link to go to the URL of the previous page. This has the effect that you're taken to the top of the index, and any sections you had open are closed again.

Better would be a history link, which actually behaved like a "back" button and returned you to the index page in the state in which you'd been there before.

Research direction

Start at the codes/packet_file page and inspect the “Back to Packet” control and its current breadcrumb link. Reproduce navigation from the index with sections open, then verify the control returns to that same index state instead of the top of the index.
