The internal web browser's browsing history should be integrated with Navigate > Forward/Back. Currently, Alt+Left and Alt+Right only allow to navigate the current browser's history. Navigate > Forward/Back and the main toolbar buttons navigate the global history (but don't know about different pages shown in a browser editor instance).

The easiest fix to ensure "correctness" would be to disable the global Alt+Left/Right keybindings in the browser editor, such that they don't show up in the menu and the Key Assist dialog. The best solution however, would be to fully integrate the browser's history with the global history, such that the browsed pages show up as separate entries.

Reproduced in 3.3. This would be a good 3.4 candidate.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
