Navigating to a page and then pressing back during an edit loses edit

MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
PHP version: 5.3.0
MySQL version: 5.1.37
URL: N/A (localhost)

I'm using XAMPP 1.7.2 When I'm editing an article and then navigate to an
new page and afterwards press back the content that I edited reverts to the
version before the edit. Also when pressing back after pressing Show preview
I get a session timeout error.

This doesn't happen on the official English Wikipedia.

Can you help me fix this?

Preserving the filled form contents is a feature of your browser.
Although some javascript on your wiki could be affecting it. For example
there were issues with that when using vector (bug 20221 [1])
Which browser are you using, which skin do you use in mediawiki? and in
Wikipedia?

Tried with IE 7
It worked like i said fine on the official English Wikipedia but not on my
testing local Mediawiki install.
Default skin i am not sure about its name on my local Mediawiki install.
I am not sure about what you mean default skin in Wikipedia I have no
control over Wikipedia...
