Chrome: Back button refusing to work

I've started having problems with the back button ceasing to function with Chrome. It only works intermittently using the mouse, but I can get the page to back up more often, by using the ALT and arrow buttons. Sometimes the page still won't back up, even using the keyboard buttons.

I've cleared the cache and all temporary internet files, cleared all cookies, and even downloaded the latest version of Chrome. The problem still persists.

Not surprisingly, a search finds this is an all-too-common problem with Chrome - and if this response by a Google IT person (to a 3 yr old thread), is anything to go by, I'm guessing it's just another Chrome programming glitch??
The Google IT persons English doesn't give one any confidence in the correct use of programming text by Google IT people ("Thanks for your patience while we work for fix this!").

I'm using Windoze 7 with Chrome as the preferred browser, on a 5 yr old Toshiba Satellite L300 laptop. I have no other problems with the computer.
