What I really miss is not being able to use the back button to get back to where I was. It now forces a reload whenever I do so. I've noticed it most with Recent Changes, but I've also had it come up while editing a page. My habit has been to use search to go to verify a page name when I'm trying to create a link from the page I'm editing. Now when I back-button from the search results I get a brand new edit page with my partial edits deleted.
I've learned to *always* press "Preview" before leaving the edit page. Then the only problem is if the connection fails for some reason (probably a problem on my end, since it occurs with other sites), in which case backtracking from the error page loses the most recent edit.

I'll try it, but I still really would like to be able to push back or forward without forcing a reload.

I find it easier to just shift-click or right-click+open-in-new-window or middle-click to open in a new tab, leaving the "base" page I'm working from alone, even on sites where going back doesn't cause a refresh.
