while navigating to various screens, sometimes the back button on the right-side is not taking to the previous screen.&nbsp; It is jumping back to couple of screens back.&nbsp; It is generally not considered good practice.&nbsp;

The "Back" links are poorly named and need to go away.&nbsp; I have a feature request in the RFE section of this project called "Rearrange Framesets" that would include this and a variety of other things.
