#4057 (ok 4.2.13) db/table query string parameters no longer work

[DisgruntledGoat]

Since version 4, this kind of URL no longer works:
example.com/phpmyadmin/?db=mydatabase&table=mytable

It used to go to the database and/or table, now it just stays on the 'home page'. It was really useful to have that link as a bookmark or to see it autocomplete in the browser so you could click it, log in, and go straight to a specific database.

I understand that the new AJAXy system doesn't use the query string any more, but the hash fragment doesn't seem to work either. Oddly, if I try to add "db=mydatabase" to the hash - something like index.php#PMAURL-0:index.php?db=mydatabase - it redirects to index.php?db=mydatabase#variousjunk but it still shows the home page, not the database!

Hopefully this can get fixed...
