This bug pertains to the tool not retaining any info entered into the fields when going back to the first page using the browser back button.

The ability to go back goes a long way in streamlining the loading process. Bibio (1.0) remembers all fields when using the browser back button, and both 1.0 and 2.0 have the volume field perpetually filled with the last entry whether using the browser back button, or refreshing the page to load a new book.

A few of the more pertinent examples for how this does in fact hinder the speed of loading include (in no specific order):

The three most important fields involved are the check boxes for visible copyright notice, and the fields for copyright or publication date and search term/call number.

As far as browser settings are concerned, everything has already been enabled to allow cookies and such to be retained, and every other website with fields for entering data that have been tested all remember their cookies when the back button is used.
