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.

> It is not currently possible to get out of the login screen apart from using the back button or modifying the URL in the browser. Bad usability...
