Pages reload when swiping back in Safari, is it a bug that will be fixed?

Has anyone else noticed that? Is that a bug or is it supposed to be like that? It takes a few seconds before I can even start scrolling down and stuff. I find it very annoying especially since I'm in my summer house and my internet connection isn't very fast.

Yep, cool animation, awful implementation. It also eats all of your ram and then moves on to your HD space. The longer you leave it open the slower and more unstable it gets.

yes I agree its annoying... hopefully there will be a solution for it...

Mine doesn't reload. How much ram do you have?

I have 4 GB and it happens to me. Really annoying. It usually happens when I switch tabs, not when I swipe back.

I hate that it does that. Did it in the beta, too. It's been improved since it was first implemented, so I'm hoping they get it right eventually, but the reload is so damn unnecessary and takes away from the smoothness.

I have been trying to figure out what the hell it is doing. It doesn't refresh but it take a second or 2 to reload. When you swipe you can see the page as it was then it does a "quick" "reload" of some type. If you try and scroll immediately before the reload it scrolls to the top of the page.

Since he page is there when you swipe why does it need to reload? If it is reloading why not refreshing too?

I have 10gb never reloads on me. I'll keep this in mind tho since I want to get a MBA.

On a forum like this it'd be pretty crappy if it didn't refresh when you swiped back to the thread listing. I like it.

Reloads on my MBA 4g all the time. Nice feature !

Love it when you do a google and look at the bottom of the search page, then back... goes to the top and reloads. Awesome productivity!!

/s

add:
when I swipe back activity monitor shows safari spikes up to 28% cpu just to load the previous/or forward page.

It is NOT refreshing. It is just reloading in the same state.

What makes you think it's a bug? You do realize that two-finger swiping is same as using back/forward buttons. And lemme ask you this: when you click on the back/forward buttons, what happens? Riiiiight, a blue progress bar loads in the address bar, which means restoring, hence the restoring when you swipe with two fingers as well.

...but again it's NOT refreshing.

But you do get my point, right?

Anyway, I've edited my previous post to eliminate the ambiguity.

Except that it also occurs frequently when you switch to an opened tab.

I have this refreshing issue as well

For me it seems to be the additional Java download that caused it, if I disable Javascript the issue goes away

but then I have problems on other sites

Well, that is a whole different issue.

So long as we're clear on the fact that "taking a few seconds before you can even start scrolling down and stuff" is NOT a bug.

Mine also isn't refreshing. Prior to upgrading to Lion, when I hit the back button while on this forum, it would mark threads I just read as already read. Now when I hit the back button, everything is bolded as if no thread has been read.

Is there a setting to change this, or is it just the new design?

looks like new design

I have tried in Safari, Firefox and Chrome and can't get old behaviour back

Just have to use CMD+R more to keep refreshing the page

I found the same to be true. I have 8GB of RAM and from what others are writing I don't think the behavior is RAM related.

Bugs the heck out of me too.

Very annoying for sure.

I have no problem whatever with these new feature, in fact I love these feature. last time I used to open a new page when I wanted to open a link but now these new feature works for me. it refresh when moving fore and back.

some time the slow refresh might be due to the broadband speed in my area. which are normal to me.

does it refresh from cache or from the website?

ie
after you have read this post and scrolled back a page, is this topic marked as read or still bolded
