Chris Laprun commented on JBPORTAL-1842:
----------------------------------------
I don't agree. A good web app shouldn't rely on the browser for navigation: it
should be self contained and avoid to force users to use the back button or enter URLs
directly. As a user, I don't like to be forced to use my browser controls to use an
application because it breaks the application metaphor. If I make a mistake while
navigating, I expect the application to offer me the possibility to get out of it using
its own controls (hence having the opportunity to properly restore any state as
appropriate) rather than force me to go outside of the application (use the browser
controls) to go back on track.
Login form should have a cancel option
