      Problem Definition

      As a user, I want to retain Anchor links/URL fragments when a session timeouts out so that I can retain the place in a document. Currently, when a user's session times out out they are redirected to the login page. After logging back in, the URL fragment is not retained so although they are taken back to the right page, they are not taken back to the right place in the document.

      The redirection URL is stored in a hidden variable in the HTML and is stored without the anchor:

       <input type="hidden" name="os_destination" value="/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=BS&amp;title=Page+with+Anchor"/>

      Suggested Solution

      Store the anchor/URL fragment so that it can be reused in the redirect.

      Workaround

      None. User needs to locate the correct point in the document and re-click the link to be taken to the anchor location.
