Hi everyone

Today I decided to try Ionic 2, I created a new app without specifying a template and it works just fine, then I created another one using the “sidemenu” template and after I open the sidemenu once it just freezes and I’m not able to keep navigating through the app (even though the events are displayed in the console).

It only happens on ANDROID in both device and web, Is it a known issue?

Thanks a lot !

This is fixed in the latest release (alpha.46). You can run:

```auto
 npm install ionic-framework@2.0.0-alpha.46 --save

```

to update it.
