1. Press T to open the research window.
2. Alt-click an item to view it in factoriopedia (e.g. with Electronics selected, alt-click "Electronic circuit (Recipe)" below "Effects"). Factoriopedia opens to display the picked item.
3. In factoriopedia, click a different item/recipe/entity to navigate to its page. (If you don't do this, the bug does not occur.)
4. Click the Back navigation in the factoriopedia title bar.

Observed behavior (2.1.7): Factoriopedia navigates to the previously selected item, but the research window behind it closes and the game resumes (in single player).
Expected behavior (as in 2.0.77, 2.0.72): Factoriopedia navigates to the previously selected item. The research window remains open.

Thanks for the report however I don't believe we will be changing this. The technology GUI being open or not is not part of the game state and as such when the forward/back logic runs it always runs "close all open GUIs" which includes the technology GUI. It does not know if it was open or not at the time the entry was made.
