OK...I've got it working now with this change: Add

window.location.reload(true);

to the end of

function restoreHistory(path) {
            saveHistory();
            path = path || location.pathname+location.search;
            var cached = getCachedHistory(path);
            if (cached) {
                var fragment = makeFragment(cached.content);
                var historyElement = getHistoryElement();
                var settleInfo = makeSettleInfo(historyElement);
                swapInnerHTML(historyElement, fragment, settleInfo)
                settleImmediately(settleInfo.tasks);
                document.title = cached.title;
                window.scrollTo(0, cached.scroll);
                currentPathForHistory = path;
                triggerEvent(getDocument().body, "htmx:historyRestore", {path:path});
                window.location.reload(true); //new line
