@kbecciv Hmm - Is that true that pressing the back button is supposed to do nothing? I swear I've seen other issues where pressing the back button while offline is supposed to move you back a step, so I'm not sure on this one. 🤔

Can you offer more context on the expected behavior here? Perhaps there's a previous issue or something that shows the back button doing nothing as what we intended? Thanks!

@greg-schroeder Sorry for confusion, I have not been able to throttle this enough to get the loading state in the header and user is able to use back button.

[greg-schroeder]

I don't think I understand - @kbecciv - are you saying that what you showed in the video is not the behavior you're talking about? I'm just having a ton of trouble understanding what is wrong here.

[greg-schroeder]

Bump @kbecciv - can you clarify your last comment?
