Accessing a page from history removes it from history?

When I display All History and double click on a page listed there, view the page then go back to the history page, that entry in History is gone.

Hi!

That's weird. What it may be happening is that after visiting the link the entry changes to a newer place in the history record.

For instance, if you are looking to pages visited the last month and you visit a link from the list, this link becomes visited in the last day and change places.

Let me know if this is the case, and if not we can investigate further for a possible technical issue.

Apologize for the delay in responding. I tested this further in Firefox and in Safari and they both work the same. Reopening any page in History removes that History entry and creates a new entry as of the time/date it's reopened. In effect, History isn't a true history of page accesses; it's a record of the last time listed pages were accessed. I'm not sure this is in line with most peoples' interpretation of the name History. What are your thoughts on this?
