NavController.pop ionViewDidEnter not fired

Hi all,

If the root page in the nav stack contains the ionViewDidEnter() function it is not fired at all when running NavController pop() or popToRoot(). Is this by design or a bug? I think this applies to any page displayed after NavController.pop() not just the root page.

My env:

cli packages:

@ionic/cli-plugin-cordova       : 1.6.2
@ionic/cli-plugin-ionic-angular : 1.4.1
@ionic/cli-utils                : 1.7.0
ionic (Ionic CLI)               : 3.7.0

global packages:

Cordova CLI : 6.5.0 

local packages:

@ionic/app-scripts : 2.0.2
Cordova Platforms  : android 6.1.2 ios 4.1.1
Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.5.3

System:

Android SDK Tools : 25.2.2
Node              : v6.9.4
OS                : macOS Sierra
npm               : 4.1.2 

Thanks!
