Doc Sub category -Back to forum loop

Bug
1

When a Doc Category has Sub Category that is also setup as a Doc Category. When you click on “Back to Forum” it keeps you in the Doc category sidebar. It doesn’t move up to the parent doc category and will not return to regular sidebar.

This is present here on Meta.

Steps to reproduce:

Thanks

Discovered it on my site ti.mi g tedyd passed fully updated ss of today. So tested here

Interesting bug to say the least. Guessing this is a recent change or would have been discovered sooner.

I think it’s related to FEATURE: Add `routeHistory` service, SessionStore service and make `back to forum` button go back to previous page by Grubba27 · Pull Request #32260 · discourse/discourse · GitHub

While storing the last non-admin route URL works well for the admin sidebar, it doesn’t work for the doc sidebar. Both URLs Documentation and Documentation > Using Discourse aren’t admin URLs.

Definitely not good. Think it is just better instead to use the browser back button for the admin scenario :woman_facepalming::wink:

Though they could likely modify that to be specific to admin URLs.

This also affects doc sidebar topic links creates the bounce loop as well. Do this commit feature breaks doc categories completely in terms of the sidebar; back to forum

I am also a little confused when I opened the chat in full-screen mode while I was in the admin area and then switched to drawer mode. After that, the back button doesn’t take you anywhere either.

Ouch. Seems to be causing a variety of unintended side effects.

Putting a pri-high on this, we will investigate this week.

Does that fix also resolve the confusing behavior when you open chat in full screen and keep it open in drawer mode?

No, you are right, chat should be excluded as well. Will fix it in the next PR.
