If I sort any topics list (e.g., a category, new, latest, etc) and enter a topic, the back button no longer works to return me to the sorted topics list. In fact, it doesn’t return me to the topics list at all — it just punts me back ~~to the main `/` home page~~ _two_ pages ago.
Apparently this is a recent regression as reported on our hosted instance: [Discourse site interaction changed / not working - #7 by mbauman - Meta Discussion - Julia Programming Language](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/discourse-site-interaction-changed-not-working/44441/7)

I believe @eviltrout may have resolved this with this commit:
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/232d277833c5e89aef1569b2167436b53f5747bb](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/232d277833c5e89aef1569b2167436b53f5747bb)
I just queued a deploy, should be there in a few minutes.

Hi Matt, seems to be working now, please flag to reopen if it is still an issue.
