In a standard generated scaffold project, when you are on an edit page, the URL looks like;

/something/3/edit

However, when the page doesn't validate, it runs the following code:

   format.html { :action => "new" }

and the page url changes to;

/something/3

(no /edit)

Why is this is this and how to prevent it, as it looks inconsistent to me and thus confusing.

Thanks
