Android back button disabled (incorrectly) in ion-navbar

I’m unable to press the back button in the navbar on my Android device. It looks as if it’s in a “disabled” button mode.

Not sure why this is happening. The button works fine in browser and iOS. Additionally, the hardware back button on Android works as expected.

Any suggestions?


  <ion-navbar transparent color="black">

	  <ion-title>
	    <img src="assets/img/icontransparent.png" id="BF-header-icon">
	  </ion-title>

	</ion-navbar>

</ion-header>```
