Bug Description
when submitting a bug to launchpad, if there is a timeout error, there is no way to save or recover the submitted data by hitting back button on browser
ADDENDUM
This bug is not about a timeout or oops, it is about the scripts that break the expected behaviour of the back button.
The form makes multiple ajax requests to change the state of the page, bug the state is not in the browser history. The back button is broken. One way to fix this issue is to use the YUI history module store each phase of the form to enable the back button.
