Picture Library Will Not open a folder

Question

i've created a picture library on multiple sites and we have an issue when there are two or more folders in the root this library.  For example, If I have folder A and I open it up, and then I click on the back button on the browser, and then try to open Folder B it will not open. If I open Folder A and use the bread crumb to navigate backwards in the site, then I can open folder B just fine. 

It seems that when I use the back button on the broswer it appends a '#' at the end of the url.

ie. http://sp2010/Site/Pictures/Forms/AllItems.aspx#'. 

This number sign i believe is what is stopping us from opening folder B. If I delete the number sign from the url it seems to work fine. When i use the bread crumb to go back to the root it does not create the number sign. Does anyone know a way around this or a solution.

Thanks,

Craig

There is a cumulative update patch for the problem:

• When you rest the mouse pointer on a list item in a list that contains many list items, it takes a long time for SharePoint Foundation 2010 to display the Edit Control Block menu. This issue specifically occurs when you use Windows Internet Explorer to view the list.
• Consider the following scenario:
  
  • You create two folders in a picture library in SharePoint Foundation 2010.
  • You click one of the folders to open it.
  • You click the Back button in Windows Internet Explorer 9 to switch back to the picture library.
  • You click the second folder that you created in the picture library.
  In this scenario, you cannot open the second folder.  

This cumulative update package resolves the issues that are described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article:

Hi Craig,

Thank you for your post.  I am seeing this exact same problem in my own work environment.  I did notice thought that if you click the back button a second time it removes the hash.

Did the KB fix work for you? Thanks
