Description
When setting up Wordpress and entering the database credentials and the setup communicates an error condition back it offers as well a "Try again" button.
Pressing that button does *not* try again. It offers the input form with all user-entered values deleted.
Instead of deleting those values, the previous user-entered data should be given after pressing that "Try again" button.

Replying to SergeyBiryukov:
The button
onclickevent ishistory.go(-1), so clicking the button is the same as clicking browser's Back button: tags/3.5.2/wp-admin/setup-config.php#L169.
Were you testing with JavaScript or browser cache disabled, perhaps?
Obviously no client-side ECMA scripting enabled, yes.

Screenshots were taken while reproducing the issue for the report.

I also could not reproduce using exact same steps. It shows original inputs after hitting 'Try Again'

And that's the bug hakre mentions here.
The back button was introduced in[20661].

I do think this is a invalid/wontfix issue. At the least, a now-duplicate of #24982
Initial bug is that, It doesn't try again, it offers the form pre-filled again.
It's browser's that control if the form is re-filled, the Try Again button is the same as the back button, Some clients will re-fill the content, some will clear it (may depend on HTTPS, and other factors).
