click "Go back one page" in browser.

@antonrinas The user with the administrator role approves the comment from within the "Activity" section of the Dashboard. Then which user (subscriber role or administrator role) is clicking the back button in their browser? Where is this user expecting to the comment has been approved?

Browsers cache the previously visited pages, so when you go back, the page isn't reloaded. Hence the wrong status.

Well, this happens also on the Comments screen. Browser cache the HTML rendered at page load, not the one that is updated via AJAX.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Log in as administrator user.
2. Remove all posts (if exist).
3. Add new post.
4. Log out.
5. Log in as subscriber user.
6. Add comment to post that was created by administrator.
7. Log out.
8. Log in as administrator user.
9. On dashboard page we see one unapproved comment.
10. On dashboard page hover comment. Click "Approve" in show up menu.
11. Click "All (1)" in the bottom part of "Activity" group box on the Dashboard page.
12. Go back (press Backspace key).

EXPECTED RESULT: comment status - Approved
ACTUAL RESULT: comment status - Unapproved

Again, this happens because browsers cache the previously visited page.

If JS is fired as usual when going back to this cached page, we could theoretically update the comment counts on page load. But I'm not sure this is worth the effort.
