Back button breaks after opening a select box

[Rowno]

After a select box is opened, the back button contains extra history steps which either causes a blank page to be displayed or nothing to happen at all. Pressing the back button again will cause the previous page to be displayed as normal.

Steps to reproduce: open a full page custom select (your state):
http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/forms/forms-all.html

Instead of selecting an option, hit the "x" button to return to the form. If you then hit the Back button, the form page does a reverse pop transition and falls away, leaving you looking at a blank page.

I can reproduce this on a HTC Desire with Android.

Any update on this?

It's still quite broken for me, sometimes the html back button works, but browser back button always results in a blank page for me.

This problem also affects modal dialogs broken browser history with extra "#&ui-state=dialog". If you make several local nested dialog windows then it's even worse "#&ui-state=dialog&ui-state=dialog&ui-state=dialog..." and so on.

fixed bug where clicking back twice after opening a dialog select was causing the main page to hide. history.back was being called twice in some cases when clicking the custom close button. Closed by 4e13021

Hi Scot, I just downloaded the most recent git version and would say that this issue solved for the first click only. To reproduce:
http://jquerytest.localhost/#docs/forms/forms-selects.html
click on the State Select box (next from the shipping method).

1. select a state,
2. click again and select a different state.
3. when you are trying to select a state for the third time, click on X. It will react-close only to the second click.
