Comment (by azaozz):

 This is a problem for all screens that are updated with ajax and also for
 screens where the content can change after the user navigates away and
 before pressing the back button. Examples: the Categories, Tags, Comments,
 Dashboard screens. If comments are posted before the user presses the
 browser's back button, they won't show.

 Adding a "Save" button to all these screens is not a good idea imho, not
 possible for the Dashboard anyways. Thinking we should explore other
 options. It seems there is a way to force the browser to reload the
 (already rendered) screen from the server when the Back button is pressed,
 at least for newer browsers.
