Bug description

When navigation.instant is enabled

theme:
  name: material
  features:
    - navigation.instant

clicking repeatedly on the same page link reloads the page from scratch without XHR. Clicking on other page links works as expected.

This problem occurs in Firefox but not in Chrome. That said, both Firefox and Chrome enable the "Go forward one page" button next to the address bar when clicking on the same page link repeatedly. It seems that an incorrect entry gets added to the history.
