1. Go to any topic.
2. Click on any user’s name (next to their avatar) twice, _bypassing_ any sort of mouse activity to/upon the user card.
3. Once on their profile, click the browser’s back button.
Expected behavior: The browser skips back to the topic.
**Actual behavior: browser stays on the profile.**
I am guessing this is a regression. Possibly related:

Thank you for your time and attention.

I’m not sure if this is an ember regression or something that’s been around for a while, but here’s a fix:
