Fixes #38229
Navigation.reload()reloads the current page - a soft navigation because data is not fetched from the server. This change adds a note that this action does not fire thepopstateevent.@noamr Points out that it does fire for other soft navigations, so people might expect it to fire for this one.
I "weakly" disagree. If you look at the documentation of
popstateit pretty clearly requires a modification to the history stack, which this does not cause. That said, I'm not an expert, and I don't think this does harm.If the reviewer rejects this I will not be unhappy.
This is part of work for #42254
