Hi all,

in the current ionic verion 1.3.1 the back navigation seems to be broken.  
The back button is not visible on subpages of an tab after some navigation steps.

The bug is replicable with the following steps:

[CodePen 1.3.1](https://codepen.io/DrJonnie/pen/qNwJBK)

1. click button “ **_Scientific Facts_** ”

2. click back button “ **_\< Home_** ”

3. click tab “ **_About_** ”

4. click button “ **_Tabs Nav Stack_** ”

5. click back button “ **_\< About_** ”

6. click tab “ **_Home_** ”

7. click button “ **_Scientific Facts_** ”

8. click back button “ **_\< Home_** ”

9. click tab “ **_About_** ”

10. click button “ **_Tabs Nav Stack_** ”

**\>\>\> BUG: Back Buttton “\< About” is not shown!**

With version 1.3.0 the back button “\< About” is shown correctly:

This is the current [github issue](https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/issues/6875).  
Sadly without any Solutions from the ionic team.
