Watchers: @softvision-sergiulogigan @softvision-oana-arbuzov @cipriansv

The report page remains in limbo state.

To clarify: the previous state of the form is retained when clicking back.

This is also true for the form v1 -- it seems like the browser is holding on to form values to be nice. I think we could fix this if we wanted to.
