Description

Context

When you select a record and then navigate to a record and then use the go back button you lose the check mark on the selected item. Also, if you had scrolled to the bottom of a long list it also sends you back to the top of the page after you go back. Is there any way that this context could be saved when navigating to a record?

Research direction
The issue occurs when navigating back to a list view after selecting a record. Investigate how Avo manages selection state and scroll position. Look at the index view JavaScript (likely Turbo or Stimulus) and the browser's history API. Check if the selection is stored in sessionStorage or a global variable that gets lost on navigation. Consider using Turbo's cache or preserving state via data attributes. Refer to the Avo source code in app/views/avo/index.html.erb and associated JavaScript files.
