back button closes other tabs

Question

back button closes other tabs

I have 4 website URLs in a folder on the Bookmarks Bar and in the Bookmark Editor auto-click is checked. After opening a new browser window I click the folder on the Bookmarks Bar and the websites are opened in 4 tabs. When I go to one of the tabs and click a link on one of the websites, the browser navigates to the new page as expected. However, when I click the back button, all of the tabs close and a blank tab is all that is left. I am using the Windows version of the Safari browser 5.1.2. Is this a known bug that is being worked on? Someone has reported something similar in the post Safari for Windows - "BACK" button bug? .

Safari 5.1.2-OTHER, Windows 7

I'm using Safari 5.1.4 and still experiencing the exact same problem with auto-click tabs. I've unintalled and reinstalled to no avail. The only semi-solution I've found so far is righ-clicked the page and choosing "back".. I was wondering if you came across anything more.

I'm using 5.1.5 now and a problem still occurs. The problem reported above still occurs and there is another similar problem. If I have a browser window with one or several tabs open already and then click the folder name, all of the existing tabs disappear and I only see newly opened tabs with the sites from the folder. When I click back then all of the new tabs close and the previous tabs reappear along with a blank new tab.

I have not come across anything more related to a solution and am hoping that someone from Apple looks at this discussion at some point so that the bug gets noticed and fixed.
