Thanks for following up on this @andrewserong 👍
✅ Could replicate the original issue with the back button
✅ After applying this PR's changes the back button works as expected
✅ Back button still works for mobile navigation as per #51558
I'm not 100% sure this is the right fix, though, so happy for feedback or to throw out this PR if there's a better approach!
@kevin940726 might be best placed to comment on the approach given his work fixing mobile routing in #51558.
Given things have changed since then and this PR fixes the now broken back button, I'm happy to approve it.

Thanks for reviewing, Aaron! Since this is a fairly small code change and an easy revert, I'll merge it in now. Happy to look into follow-ups if anyone has further feedback after this lands 🙂 |

Unfortunately, this makes mobile back button push to the history stack instead of backing when available.
I believe this issue was introduced in #52910 but I haven't looked deep into the issue to provide any valuable insight 😅 . (c.c. @noisysocks)

I tested trunk and looks like it's working as expected. The back button goes "up" not "back" and so therefore creates a new entry in the browser's history. That's how the other screens work too e.g. if you go to Pages → About, click the back button, and then go back with your browser, you end up at About.

What I mean is I expect the back button to behave exactly like the browsers' back button whenever possible. Something like a smart back button.
I don't think this has that high of a priority though 🙂 . Perhaps we could revisit this once we have a more robust routing architecture.

What?
Follows on from #52910
In the Patterns screen within the site editor browse mode, if you click between patterns categories, the back button in the UI doesn't appear to work.
Why?
I think this is because it's currently setting the
backPathto/patterns, and #52910 changed the behaviour of the back button a little, so it seems that as of that PR, clicking the back button will result in being directed to the same page the user is currently on.How?
Remove the
backPathparam from the patterns category links. From a little testing, I think the browser back button for Patterns is still working correctly without that param. I'm not 100% sure this is the right fix, though, so happy for feedback or to throw out this PR if there's a better approach!Testing Instructions
