Yes, there is a bug, but reposting the data is definitely NOT the right
answer. The page should get pulled from the cache and displayed. No
repost. Data could have changed on the server meantime giving a page
different to that which was displayed originally, meaning it would still
be impossible to debug. View page source must show the source of the
page as currently displayed, and the same goes for printing a page.
This is quite obvious to a developer. It beats me how so many people
have so much trouble understanding this fundamentality, especially
someone from Netscape.
