## Description

### Steps to reproduce

1.  Make sure you have at least one board in your project
    
2.  Navigate to the project home page in a new tab session
    
3.  Go to Boards index page
    
4.  Click on a board on a list
    
5.  Click the browser back button
    

### What is the buggy behavior?

*   The page is blank
    

Note: this does not happen if the first page visited is the Boards index page. Only if navigating from somewhere else like Project home page or work packages (and maybe others, I did not try everything).

### What is the expected behavior?

1.  Navigate back to the board index page and render it properly
    

###   

### Screenshots and other files

The page after navigating back from the board page (it should be displaying the boards index page)
