Views exposed filters in block breaks when you go back to the page

Could you provide some steps to reproduce the bug in the issue summary so people could try it out?

Can you reproduce without the SHS module? I lost track of what you were doing at about #4, some of the steps "configure" and "filters are broken" are too generic of terms, ideally you could do this without configuring too much to help determine if it's the configuration, the additional modules or something else causing the issue, if you eliminate possible causes it's more clear how to solve the problem.

screenshots probably wouldn't hurt, especially because "filters are broken" doesn't mean much, could it be JS that they don't trigger click events that is broken, are they visually broken like someone threw them against the wall (hyperbole), what are the symptoms that tell you that it's broken.

I don't mean to sound harsh, just need a bit more info and less dependencies to help resolve this with you.

I followed the steps mentioned in #6 to reproduced the issue and got an error "history.pushState is not a function " while using exposed filters . But it worked fine for me when I commented the line :
History.pushState(options, document.title, cleanURL(url, options.data));
in addState function in views_ajax_history.js file .
Checked by navigating to other page i.e away from view page and then back to the view page by clicking on back button .
Filters worked fine for me .

@anjalikhandelwal sounds like you are missing the history.js library. Can you check it's installed?

yes it is installed

@anjalikhandelwal on the page that the error exists check that the history.js file is being loaded because the error you get is because it's missing.

We're observing an issue where we type.
Légumes with e accent égu
press control F5 in IE11 , get weird character instead of proper é accent.

might be similar.

I've put a workaround in my custom javascript but I'm going to review this patch 3 I think it might help us in a few areas.

to reproduce, in your search criteria, put double quotes around the search words. Without this patch, the encoding is incorrect.
Tested using Firefox, Chrome, IE11

This patch also resolves IE11 issues with url encoding.

In case anyone finds this issue and is looking for a d8 fix I re-rolled this patch to fix this exact issue in the 8.x-1.x version of this module. https://www.drupal.org/project/views_ajax_history/issues/3021074

Also +1 for this resolving the above mentioned issue.

#3021074: Views exposed filters in block breaks when you go back to the page as #16 mentioned should resolve this as well.
