[dokuwiki] strange behaviour on browsing back (re: kaspar's mail)

Because Kaspar asked in the other thread about his email, I'm forwrading it below. I had a look at it and the screenshot, but wasn't able to reproduce it and have no idea how this happened and if it is indeed a security problem. My guess from looking at it would be some hiccup in Konqueror's rendering engine / caching mechanism.

Kaspar's mail below:

Hello.. im writing to you in private since i believe i may have
discovered a security related bug in dokuwiki.

i just added an article to my wiki, and then browsed abit in the wiki.
then i used my browser(konquerors) feature to go back, but not just one
step, i went directly alot back, to the article i added (konqueror shows
the little arrow, so you can go alot back in current history) anyway, i
didnt get to my article, but i got to the main page, however text in
submit buttons(those used for edit, login, search and such) were
"skewed". i suspect i may have gone back to a submit action, preview
perhaps, since i did do preview alot, causing some GET/POST stuff to
mess up in dokuwiki.

since i am probably not able to reproduce this, i have taken a
screenshot so that you may see it, i have attached the screenshot.

my wiki is: http://wiki.kaspersandberg.com

i am not using the latest stable release of dokuwiki, since the theme
didnt work with khtml, however, the next release seems to do, so ill
change to that when its released.

if you need me to try some things feel free to mail back, i have not dug
deeper into it myself though, since i dont have too terribly much time.

mvh.
