Please don't break the back button (Firefox and Chrome).

In Firefox 29.0 on Ubuntu 14.04, the left sidebar with the text of the blog disappears and is replaced with a white space. I do not experience this on Chrome.

I just tried it on Firefox 26 on OSX and could not replicate. It has worked for everyone I've had test the page. The only thing that happens when you press back is the animation to load the right demo. There might be something buggy with how the CSS animation is using your graphics driver?

Back button breaking on latest version of Chrome/Win7 here. Scrolling up and down adds history.

It adds history?? What is the URL changing to?

URL doesn't appear to change in chrome, but the back button just cycles through the various demo screens after you've scrolled down for a while.

Oh, that's because the demos are loaded in an iframe. Not sure what the best solution is, but I'll think about it. Thanks.

Whoa there. An iFrame? Why?

Back-button breaking here too. Chrome 31/Ubuntu 14.04. It adds history without changing the URL, as the sibling poster mentioned.

The second bug I mentioned only happens when I'm zoomed in 120%, which I am by default. Here's a screenshot: http://imgur.com/eDvLdMK

(As someone who doesn't work much with Javascript I thought the explanation was enlightening, BTW)

Add Opera to that list as well, or anything Blink based i would assume

He said he did not experience in Chrome. Is there any chance you could take a screenshot/screencast of the bug? I haven't been able to reproduce.
