Retain previous Miller column selection when returning to live Web #267
When navigating the live Web using Mink and selecting a memento from the Miller column interface, the memento is displayed in the user's browser.
Upon hitting "Back to live Web" once re-activating the Mink interface while viewing a memento, the original selection context is lost -- that is, the user much traverse the Miller columns again to regain the temporal context.
It would be useful to remember this context and re-show the expanded Miller column to allow the user to visually navigate in time after returning back to the live Web instead of having to repeat the same Miller selections.
