Bug Description
This isn't data-loss in that it loses data Launchpad already has. But it does mean that the information I have typed into the web interface gets destroyed.
I was submitting a new bug to bzr, and wanted to assign it to the canonical-bzr team. I wasn't sure on the spelling, so I used the "Find ..." link. However, that is a "blue" link and takes you to a completely new page. When you hit "Back" on the browser, it resets the page to the initial view, and has destroyed all of the information that you entered into the "Further information" field.
In the immediate term, I would remove the "Find..." link, since it inherently loses your state.

I was sure this was a dupe, can't find it though.
