Browser Back is not working

[thomthom]

If you click on a method which takes you to the anchor for that method then clicking Back in the browser doesn't take up back up where you were. (Tested in Chrome, Windows 10)

Steps to reproduce

This can be observed in the latest version (0.9.8). For instance, on this page for YARD itself; http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/yard/File (Generated by 0.9.8)

For instance, click on the cleanpath link under the "Manipulating Paths" section - then try the browser back button.

Actual Output

When clicking back after clicking an anchor nothing happens. If I keep clicking it will navigate back to whatever URL I was coming from, but anchor history is broken.

Expected Output

Expected behaviour would be for the browser history buttons to act upon the anchor history - like normally happens.

Environment details:

• OS: Windows 10
• YARD version (yard -v): 0.9.8
• Relevant software dependency/versions:
  • Chrome 56.0.2924.87

I have read the Contributing Guide.

I observe the same thing on Mac OS X v. 10.12.6 and Chrome 63.0.3239.84 64-bit official build.
