Hey Guy  
We are running 7.5.2.beta4 and i just noticed this morning while in the console looking at logs that the back button on system console log viewer doesnt work it moves logs forward not back in time.

Never mind it is working but just not as i expected. I was expecting it to show the previous rows i was on but it doesnt appear to do this.

Yeah, the back/next buttons merely iterate through groups of 50 (or whatever you changed the default to). It doesn’t have any type of persistent navigation.
