Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 1.4.8-3
Severity: important


Hello,

the browser dosen't refresh the content of a website correctly, even
after a reload.

Step by Step:
	- a websit with some formulars, GET and POST
	- so in my URL is something like: http://site/script?param=
	- now execute a form with a POST parameter
	- the form is correct executed
	- the browser nearly "stalls", menus function normal, but the browser
		window is stalled, no scrolling possible ..
	- resize the window (force the browser a redraw) and everything is
		fine again.
	
some marks:
	- the script is executed normally
	- other browser windows do sas they should
	- the website has correct caching headers


IMHO it looks like, the browser "forgets" the redraw if the URL isn't
changed.
