browser back error

[xianweics]

Version

"react": "latest",
"react-dom": "latest",
"react-router-dom": "latest"

Please replace this sentence with the React Router version that you are using.

Test Case

https://codesandbox.io/s/7zwjlm2j3q

Steps to reproduce

1. Click 'About' button more than once.
2. Click back icon once in the embed browser.

Now you will find that url hasn't been changed.

Expected Behavior

When I click back icon once, the url changes and goes back to homepage instead of 'About'.

Actual Behavior

The url hasn't been changed. The route can't go back to homepage until you click back icon many times. I know when I click navigation 'About' once, the react-router will push history once. It will push once after I click 'About' again, so that I cannot able to reach homepage.

Please help me solve this problem.

@timdorr This isn't a support question. The issue as described is replicable.

Compare:

• link not change, but Prompt is actived #5897
• <Link/> component updates history even when location is the same #5500
• Use replace instead of push on <Link> click when location is the same #5362
• Don't add new location to history when navigating to the current URL #5039
• skip pushing to history when location matches link (#5362) #5363

I agree with all previous issues that the proper fix should be implemented in history. But Maybe we should just let one instance of this issue open here, reference the history issue and lock it. That might help stop people from reopening it a 7th time.
