Liferay Commerce, Placed Orders Widget: Pressing Browser 'Back' Button Loses Page Settings

Issue

• Using a browser's back button causes Commerce's Placed Orders Widget to lose both page placement and items per page configuration.
  
  Example Setup
  1. Complete 5 Commerce Orders
  2. Go to the Placed Orders screen > set the Items per Page to 4 (lowest value possible)
  
  
  3. Navigate to Page 2
  4. Click the 'View' button to see the Order Details of the last order
  5. Press your browser's 'back button'
  
  Result
  Page pagination is reset to 10 items so all 5 orders are listed on Page 1
  
  

Environment

• DXP 7.3

Resolution

• This is a known limitation of the product at this time.
  
  The current implementation hard-codes values for itemsPerPage and pageNumber, meaning the initial display values are always '10 items per page' so in the above case, all 5 orders are displayed when the page refreshes or a back button is pressed.
