Description
Describe the bug
reported by Julie
When I click on the web browser's arrow to go back one step (i.e. out of the spreadsheet and back to the original folder I entered) it doesn't always respond and I have to repeat the action another 1 or 2 times before I can "escape" the spreadsheet.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open a spreadsheet
- Click the web browser's back button
- Sometimes nothing happens, just a blank screen
- I need to click multiple times (URL in the address bar changes but nothing happens) until I'm back to NC BUT not the place I was expecting to: Dashboard
Additional notes from Pedro: it seems the document is correctly closed, but the user gets stuck in a blank screen:
Expected behavior
Click arrow to go back should get me back to the previous screen that I was in before opening the spreadsheet.

Done means the browser back button returns to the folder that opened the spreadsheet without blank screens or repeated clicks.
