A question about zen_back_link

I have a page which can be accessed by clicking on a link while viewing a product.
On the page I put a back button using zen_back_link. I was expecting zen_back_link would redirect me to the product page, not quite so. It sends me back to the index page instead. Weird.

Amd I doing something wrong here?

That's a problem I've noticed for awhile but not sure where to correct the coding. Even with just the default "Back" code, on some pages it works properly and on some it doesn't. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

yeah, I even tried the set_snapshot to make sure the page is recorded, no luck so far. Maybe a developer can answer this.

There is some information and a possible workaround in the following thread...

Thanks Christian,

Tried to flip Admin->Configuration->Layout Settings->Skip 1-product categories from true to false, still the same behavior though. Weird.

I think you have to change...

     if (sizeof($_SESSION['navigation']->path)-2 > 0) {
```...to...
```php
     if (sizeof($_SESSION['navigation']->path)-2 >= 0) {
```...as well as switching off the skip 1-product categories.

Doesnt seem to solve it.
Another thing: if I set navigation snapshot on one page, then use zen_redirect to login page, the user will be redirected back to that page after logging in. If I leave a login link on the page for the user to click on, that does not happen though.
