Chrome not retaining scroll position on back button

On most (static) websites, browsers will retain the user's previous scroll position when going back to a previous page.
On my site, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all exhibit this behavior, by default. But Chrome does not. Why?
My app is built on tornado and we use jinja2 to render static pages, so I wouldn't expect there to be an issue due to an AJAX-heavy web framework.
I have tried modifying the cache headers to see if it was a caching issue, as suggested here, but no luck. I also don't have the overflow: auto issue suggested in that post.
Here are my response headers:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

I was focusing an element on page load that is at the top of the screen, which causes Chrome to scroll to the element. Not sure why Firefox/Safari/Edge behave differently.
