Back button in Safari doesn't go back to same position on previous page

Latest iOS update screwed up Safari's back button behavior. Every 4th tap of the back button does not restore the previous page's scroll position. Also, the previous page frequently displays at maximum zoom instead of how it was previously displayed. I have cleared Safari history and website data, I've restarted the app, I've power-cycled the phone, still the issue persists. Safari used to work fine without this glitch. Apple, if things aren't broken stop "fixing" them, it's ****** annoying.

Even more glitches. The mentioned bugs (previous page position and zoom factor) occur more frequently than every 4th link, but also new pages do not load at the top of the page (they're scrolled down slightly). Safari was working fine before somebody at Apple decided to "fix" it. Rebooting the photo, restarting Safari, clearing history and data, nothing fixes it. Sloppy coding by Apple needs to get cleaned up.
