Description
The browser "back" button doesn't work after clicking a fragment link (/page => /page#something).
URL changes back from /page#something to /page, but it has no effect on the scroll position.

Research direction
Reproduce the navigation from /page to /page#something and then use the browser back button, observing both the URL and scroll position. Trace the fragment-link and history behavior in the documentation website; done means returning to /page also restores the expected scroll position.
