<ol class="task-list">
<li>have a non-default layer active (for example the notes layer)</li>
<li>click share, use the short-link</li>
<li>paste the link in another browser (I was using chromium 34)</li>
<li>map isn't set to the previously chosen location</li>
</ol><p>Alternatively: the short-link <a href="http://osm.org/go/0E6C6h6a--?layers=N">http://osm.org/go/0E6C6h6a--?layers=N</a> should redirect one to somewhere around Amsterdam, but doesn't.</p>
<p>The cause seems to be that short-urls are redirected to something like: <code>http://www.openstreetmap.org/?layers=N#map=15/52.05429553985596/5.093429088592529</code> and the non-hash part of this link (<code>http://www.openstreetmap.org/?layers=N</code>) is then redirected to a link with a different hash: <code>http://www.openstreetmap.org/#layers=N</code>. The browser now can't know what to do with the two different hashes. The solution should be to redirect to an url with the correct hash in the first step: <code>http://www.openstreetmap.org/?#map=15/52.05429553985596/5.093429088592529&layers=N</code></p>
