• This is by-design.
• When changing URL by using browser back/forward button, bookmark or just writing in URL box, browser will store the URL into browser history stock.
• When canceling navigation in confirmation dialog, the URL will be restored to align with the current UI  (looks like nothing changed). However, browser has already performed the change(s) in history stock.
• SAC can only detect URL change, but doesn't know in which way (user's action) the URL has been changed.

Please create an enhancement request for Development to consider adding this as a feature in a future wave of SAP Analytics Cloud.
