Pause on hover sticks when clicking and going back

[diannall]

I'm having a problem with cycle 2.9999.8 in mac/safari
I know, very old, but it's my client's site and I can't update jquery right now.

Here is what's happening :
I have banners with links
Pause = true
Hover over a slide and click it (the target=self) and keep your mouse in place (don't move off the image)
When on the linked page, click your browsers back button
The slides are now permanently paused

It seems like because I didn't mouse off before the page unloaded it doesn't take it off pause

Does anyone know how I can get around this while keeping pause on hover?
